Needle-nose pliers c.k tools T3890, ESD, 145 mm, straight

Straight needle-nose pliers c.k tools T3890 are 145 mm long precision pliers designed for gripping, bending and positioning small components in electronics and delicate assemblies. The slim, straight jaws provide controlled access into confined spaces while the ESD-rated handles reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge when working with sensitive circuits and components. Compact overall length and fine tips make these pliers suitable for repair, assembly and prototyping tasks that require accuracy and steady control.

Advantages

The straight, fine-point jaws deliver precise gripping and bending of miniature parts without obstructing the work area. ESD-rated insulation on the handles reduces static transfer to sensitive electronic components during handling. A balanced length of 145 mm combines reach and tactile control for delicate operations. The tool’s construction emphasises tip alignment and durability for repeated use in electronics workshops and bench assembly.

Suitable for

• Electronics assembly and repair
• PCB component placement and removal
• Precision bending and forming of small wires and leads
• Prototyping and laboratory bench work
• Jobs in confined or hard-to-reach spaces

Key specifications

• Tool type: straight needle-nose pliers
• Overall length: 145 mm
• Jaw style: straight, fine-point
• Handle: ESD-rated insulated grips
• Primary uses: gripping, bending, positioning of small components

How to use

Position the fine-point jaws around the component or wire and apply steady pressure to grip without crushing delicate parts. Use the long, narrow tips to reach into tight locations on assemblies and PCBs; for bending, place the material between the jaws near the tip for maximum control. Keep movements deliberate and avoid excessive side loading on the tips to maintain alignment and prevent deformation. When working with live equipment, ensure power is disconnected and follow standard ESD handling procedures to protect sensitive components.

Usage recommendations

Store the pliers in a dry, clean toolbox or on a tool mat to preserve tip alignment. Periodically inspect the ESD-rated grips for wear and test continuity to ground where required by your ESD control program. For best results, use this tool for fine, precision tasks rather than heavy cutting or twisting loads.
