Needle-nose pliers Knipex 08 21 145

The Knipex 08 21 145 needle-nose pliers are a compact, precision tool designed for work in confined areas. Forged from special high-grade tool steel and oil-hardened, these 145 mm pliers combine pointed, stable tips with a slim head and pointed jaws to enable accurate access and manipulation of small components. The handles are plastic-coated for comfortable grip, and the tool weighs 116 g, making it suitable for extended use without excessive fatigue.

Advantages

The slim head design with anti-twist pointed jaws provides handy use in tight spaces and stable tips for long service life. A milled groove in the gripping area allows holding and pulling of small parts such as nails, pins and bolts, while a convex contour on one side of the gripping surfaces secures flat parts. The high-leverage joint ensures easier cutting, and the cutting edges are suitable for soft, medium-hard and hard wire. Forging from special tool steel and manifold oil-hardening increases durability and reliability.

• Precision gripping and bending in tight or confined spaces

How to use

Place the pointed jaws around the component to be gripped, using the milled groove for small pins or the convex contour for flat parts to improve hold. For cutting tasks, position the wire between the cutting edges and apply firm, steady pressure using the high-leverage joint to reduce effort. Use the slim head to reach into narrow or confined areas and maintain control with the plastic-coated handles. Inspect the tool before use to ensure tips and cutting edges are in good condition.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting wire. Do not use the pliers on live electrical circuits unless they are properly insulated for such use. Maintain the tool by cleaning after use and storing in a dry place to preserve the oil-hardened steel.
