Needle-nose pliers Knipex 33 01 160 Jaw width 9 mm Length 160 mm

The Knipex 33 01 160 needle-nose pliers combine a slim 9 mm jaw profile with a compact 160 mm overall length to provide precise access in confined spaces. Designed for tasks requiring accuracy and control, these pliers are lightweight at approximately 103 g while maintaining the durability expected from the Knipex brand. The slender jaws and long reach simplify handling of small parts, bending, and holding in tight assemblies without compromising user control.

Advantages

The narrow jaw width and elongated design allow for precise gripping and manipulation of small components in limited access areas. The low weight reduces operator fatigue during repetitive use, and the high-quality steel construction offers resistance to deformation and long-term dimensional stability. Ergonomic handles provide secure control, enhancing accuracy when working with delicate parts or performing fine adjustments.

Suitable for

• Electronics assembly and repair
• Jewellery making and fine metalwork
• Model building and hobby applications
• Automotive and mechanical access in tight engine bays
• Precision bending, holding, and shaping of small parts

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 9 mm
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Weight: approximately 103 g
• Material: high-strength tool steel (hardened and tempered)
• Tip style: needle-nose/slim-profile
• Handle type: ergonomic insulated grip for controlled handling

How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles with a firm but comfortable grip, positioning the slim jaws around the component to be gripped or bent. Apply controlled pressure to close the jaws and manipulate the part; use the long reach of the tool to access areas that are otherwise difficult to reach. For precise positioning, make small incremental movements and avoid excessive force that could deform delicate parts or the tool's tips.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers for precision mechanical tasks and avoid using them on hardened fasteners or as a substitute for cutting or prying tools. Keep the jaws clean and inspect for wear before use; store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain tip alignment for accurate long-term performance.
