Needle-nose pliers Knipex 30 13 160, length 160 mm, jaw width 5 mm, jaw length 46.5 mm

Knipex 30 13 160 needle-nose pliers are 160 mm long precision pliers engineered for accurate gripping, bending and manipulation in confined spaces. With a narrow 5 mm jaw width and 46.5 mm jaw length, the tool provides fine-tip access for delicate tasks in electronics, jewelry making, model building and detailed mechanical work. The compact 160 mm length and 118 g weight make the pliers easy to control for both professional technicians and hobbyists.

Advantages

The tapered jaws deliver precise clamping and allow access to narrow gaps while maintaining alignment and grip. Compact overall dimensions provide good leverage and handling in tight assemblies. Hardened working surfaces ensure wear resistance on the contact faces, and the long slim design supports delicate bending and holding operations without bulk. The balanced weight contributes to stable, fatigue-reduced handling during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Electronics assembly and repair
• Jewelry making and fine metalwork
• Model building and hobby crafting
• Detailed mechanical adjustments in tight spaces
• Wire bending, forming and positioning in confined areas

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw width (tip): 5 mm
• Jaw length: 46.5 mm
• Weight: 118 g
• Type: needle-nose / long-nose pliers

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles close to the pivot for maximum control when working in confined areas. Use the fine tips to grip, bend or position small components, wires and pins; apply steady, controlled pressure to avoid damaging sensitive parts. For twisting or forming wire, position the wire near the jaw base for greater leverage and use the tapered tip for precise shaping and access in narrow locations.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the jaws regularly for wear or deformation and avoid using the pliers for cutting hardened wires or as a hammer. Clean and lightly lubricate the pivot point periodically to maintain smooth operation. Use appropriate eye protection and follow standard ESD precautions when working with sensitive electronic components.
