Needle-nose pliers Knipex 20 01 160

The Knipex 20 01 160 needle-nose pliers are precision hand tools constructed from chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened for durability. Measuring 160 mm in length and weighing 144 g, these pliers combine a slim profile with sufficient strength for fine tasks in confined spaces. The plastic handles provide an ergonomic grip appropriate for extended use in electrical work, mechanical adjustments, and hobby projects.

Advantages

Flat, short, wide jaws with knurled gripping surfaces enable secure handling of small parts and wires. The forged chrome vanadium steel construction, with oil hardening, offers high wear resistance and a long service life. Lightweight design and plastic handles improve control and reduce hand fatigue during precision tasks.

Suitable for

• Gripping and bending small components in tight spaces
• Electrical work such as holding wires and terminals
• Fine mechanical adjustments and assembly
• Hobby and DIY tasks requiring precision

How to use

Use the needle-nose pliers to reach and manipulate small parts in confined areas. Position the flat jaws around the target object, apply steady pressure to the handles for a secure grip, and perform bending, pulling or holding operations as required. Keep movements controlled to avoid slippage; the knurled jaws improve grip but do not eliminate the need for careful handling.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the pliers by keeping them clean and lightly lubricated at the joint. Inspect the jaws for wear and ensure the knurling remains effective. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion despite the oil-hardening treatment. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with live electrical circuits.
