Needle-nose pliers Knipex 28 01 200 — steel, plastic handles, 200 mm

Knipex 28 01 200 needle-nose pliers are 200 mm long, made from high-grade special tool steel with plastic handles and a total weight of approximately 197 g. The slim, elongated jaws and knurled gripping surfaces provide precise control in confined spaces. These pliers are designed for tasks that require narrow access and reliable gripping force, combining a forged, oil-hardened steel construction with ergonomic plastic handles for routine workshop and fine-detail work.

Advantages

The high-grade special tool steel, forged and oil-hardened, ensures durability and consistent performance under repeated use. Knurled gripping surfaces improve hold on small or slippery parts, while the narrow, tapered jaws enable access into tight areas. Plastic handles provide comfortable handling and reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The overall design balances prehensile power with precision for controlled bending, gripping and light cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Electronics assembly and repair where precision gripping is required
• Jewelry making and fine metalwork
• Model building and hobby applications with limited access
• General workshop tasks such as bending small wire and holding components

Key specifications

• Length: 200 mm
• Material: high-grade special tool steel, forged and oil-hardened
• Handle: plastic for ergonomic grip
• Weight: approximately 197 g
• Jaws: long, narrow, tapered with knurled gripping surfaces

How to use

Use the pliers to grip, bend or position small parts by aligning the tapered jaws around the workpiece and applying even pressure to the handles. For cutting or trimming tasks, position the material close to the joint for improved leverage and control. When working in confined spaces, approach the component with the slender tips and rotate the tool as needed to achieve the desired angle. After use, wipe the tool clean and apply a light protective oil to the joint and surfaces to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, select these needle-nose pliers when precise access and secure gripping are required. Avoid using the tool on hardened fasteners or for heavy prying; use appropriate cutting tools for harder materials. Regular cleaning and occasional lubrication of the joint will extend service life.
