Needle-nose pliers Knipex 25 06 160 T

The Knipex 25 06 160 T needle-nose pliers are precision hand tools designed for tasks in confined spaces. These pliers combine a slim profile with a long, narrow jaw that measures 5 cm in length and 2.5 mm in jaw width, giving controlled access to small components. With an overall length of 160 mm and a weight of 156 g, the tool balances reach and maneuverability for electrical and fine mechanical applications.

Advantages

The slim jaws provide precise gripping and positioning of small parts while the long nose improves reach into narrow or recessed areas. The compact overall length and moderate weight reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The tool’s design supports delicate manipulation without applying excessive force, enabling controlled work on fragile contacts, small fasteners, and tight assemblies.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and wiring work in restricted spaces
• Fine mechanical assembly and repair of small devices
• Holding, bending or positioning wires and small components
• Electronics, hobby and precision craft tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw length: 50 mm
• Jaw width (tip): 2.5 mm
• Weight: 156 g
• Slim, long-nose design for access into tight spaces
• Intended for precision gripping and manipulation

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated or coated handles and position the slim jaws around the component, wire or small part to be gripped. Apply steady pressure on the handles to close the jaws securely without deforming fragile items. For bending or shaping wires, use the jaws near the base for leverage and the tip for fine adjustments. When working in confined areas, approach the workpiece at an angle that preserves visibility and control.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers for precision tasks and avoid applying excessive force on hardened fasteners or cutting duties for which they are not designed. Keep the jaws clean and free of debris to maintain accurate gripping. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect the jaws periodically for wear or deformation.
