EPM long nose pliers E-400-0004 — straight, 160 mm

EPM long nose pliers E-400-0004 — straight, 160 mm are precision hand pliers with a slim, extended nose designed to access narrow spaces and perform detailed gripping, bending and holding operations. With a straight jaw profile and a 160 mm overall length, these pliers are intended for tasks that require improved reach and accuracy in electrical, mechanical and hobby work. The construction balances reach and control while maintaining a compact size suitable for confined areas.

Advantages

The straight long nose design provides precise control when manipulating small components or reaching into tight spots. The extended, narrow jaws allow for controlled bending and gripping of wires, small parts and connectors. The 160 mm length offers a compromise between reach and maneuverability, making the tool useful where both access and tactile feedback are important. The pliers are suited to repeated fine tasks, enabling steady handling for assembly and repair work.

Suitable for

• Electrical wiring and connector assembly
• Mechanical repairs and component manipulation
• Detailed hobby and model-making work
• Assembly tasks in confined or hard-to-reach areas

Key specifications

• Tool type: Long nose pliers, straight jaw
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw style: Slim, extended nose for narrow access
• Primary functions: Gripping, bending, holding and precision manipulation
• Typical applications: Electrical, mechanical and hobby tasks

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated or grip-covered handles close to the pivot for maximum control when working in tight areas. Position the slim jaws around the component or wire, apply steady pressure to grip or bend, and make small controlled movements to avoid damaging delicate parts. Use the full length of the handles for stronger bends and apply nearer to the pivot for finer control. When cutting or trimming is required, use an appropriate cutting tool rather than the gripping jaws if the pliers are not specified with cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool before use for wear or damage to the jaws and handles. Use the pliers for intended precision tasks and avoid applying excessive force beyond their design to prevent deformation. Keep the jaws clean and lightly lubricated at the pivot to maintain smooth operation. Store in a dry place to reduce corrosion risk.
