Needle-nose pliers Knipex 28 71 280

The Knipex 28 71 280 needle-nose pliers are precision hand tools designed for tasks that require access to confined spaces and delicate handling. These pliers have a jaw width of 2 cm and a jaw length of 7.65 cm, combined with an overall length of 280 mm and a slim height of 14 mm. The streamlined shape and robust construction provide a balance of control and durability for professional and hobby use.

Advantages

These needle-nose pliers offer precise gripping and manipulation in narrow areas thanks to their slim jaw profile and elongated reach. The overall length of 280 mm gives additional leverage while maintaining fine fingertip control. Durable materials and solid assembly promote long service life under repeated use, and the compact height supports work close to surfaces or inside assemblies where clearance is limited.

Suitable for

• Electrical and electronic assembly, component positioning and wire bending
• Jewellery making and small-part craftwork
• Automotive and mechanical tasks in tight engine compartments
• General maintenance, repair and DIY where precision gripping is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 280 mm
• Jaw length: 7.65 cm
• Jaw width: 2 cm
• Height (thickness): 14 mm
• Slim, elongated jaw profile for access to confined spaces
• Robust construction for repeated professional use

How to use

Grip the pliers by the handles with your dominant hand, positioning the jaws around the object to be held, bent or manipulated. Use fingertip control for delicate tasks and apply steady pressure to avoid slipping. For bending or shaping wire, place the wire between the jaws at the required point and move the handles to form the desired angle. When working in tight spaces, use the elongated jaws to reach components while keeping the hand clear of surrounding parts.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the pliers before use for wear or damage and keep the jaws clean to ensure secure gripping. Do not use the tool on live electrical circuits unless it is specifically insulated. For best results, match the pliers to the task: use these needle-nose pliers for precision gripping and manipulating small parts rather than heavy cutting or prying.
