Needle-nose pliers Knipex 22 02 160

The Knipex 22 02 160 needle-nose pliers are designed for precision tasks in confined spaces. Featuring round, short jaws with a finely ground finish and forged chrome vanadium electric steel that has been oil-hardened, these pliers are suitable for bending wire loops and other detailed work. The 160 mm length and lightweight construction (170 g) make them easy to handle, and the plastic handles provide a secure grip for accurate manipulation.

Advantages

Round, short jaws with a finely ground surface allow precise bending of wire loops and fine components. Forged chrome vanadium electric steel with oil hardening ensures good strength and wear resistance. Compact 160 mm size and low weight improve accessibility in tight spaces and reduce hand fatigue. Plastic handles offer comfortable and secure handling during repetitive or precise operations.

Suitable for

• Bending wire loops and forming small wire ends
• Precision work in electronics, jewelry or model making
• Accessing and manipulating components in confined spaces

How to use

Grip the pliers by the plastic handles and position the round, short jaws around the wire or component to be bent. Apply controlled pressure and rotate or twist as required to form loops or shape wire ends. Use the compact length to reach into tight areas and make small adjustments with steady, precise movements. After use, clean any debris from the jaws and store the pliers in a dry place to maintain the oil-hardened steel.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results when bending wire loops, select the appropriate jaw contact point and use slow, steady movements. Avoid applying excessive force that could damage delicate components or deform the jaw profile. Regularly inspect and clean the jaws to preserve the finely ground finish.
