Needle-nose pliers Knipex 22 05 160

Needle-nose pliers Knipex 22 05 160 are designed for precision bending and manipulating wire loops in confined spaces. The tool features round, short jaws with a finely ground finish and is forged from chrome vanadium electric steel that has been oil-hardened for increased durability. At 160 mm length and weighing 169 g, these pliers combine rigidity with manageable size for detailed tasks.

Advantages

The round, short jaws allow accurate forming of wire loops and small bends without sharp edges that could damage the wire. Finely ground jaw surfaces ensure precise contact and reduced slippage. The chrome vanadium electric steel construction, forged and oil-hardened, provides high strength and long service life. Plastic handles offer a comfortable grip for prolonged use in tight or awkward positions.
