Pliers MEGA bent round-nose 160 mm model 28691

Bent round-nose pliers MEGA model 28691 with a 160 mm overall length are designed for precise gripping, bending and forming of wire, loops and small components. The pliers feature a curved, semi-circular nose profile that provides access to confined spaces and allows controlled shaping of metal and other small parts. Intended for electronics work, jewellery making and precision assembly, these pliers combine a compact size with focused tip geometry to support delicate manual operations.

Advantages

The bent round-nose shape offers improved visibility and reach when working in tight or angled spaces compared with straight-nose types. The semi-circular nose profile enables consistent loop forming and uniform bending radii, which helps achieve repeatable results. At 160 mm overall length the tool balances portability and control for both workshop and hobby use, while the handle length and nose offset reduce hand obstruction around the workpiece.

Suitable for

• Forming wire loops and eyelets in jewellery making
• Bending and shaping component leads in electronics and PCB assembly
• Precision assembly, model making and small repairs
• Crafts and hobby tasks requiring fine manipulation

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Nose type: bent / round (curved semi-circular profile)
• Primary uses: gripping, bending, forming wire and small components
• Tip profile: semi-circular for loop forming and controlled bends
• Suitable environments: workshop, hobby bench, electronics workbench

How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles so the bent round nose aligns with the workpiece and position the wire or component between the semi-circular tips. Use the curved profile to wrap or form loops by rotating the tool or the wire gradually, applying steady, controlled pressure. For bending leads or shaping small parts, clamp the item close to the intended bend point and lever the handles to achieve the desired radius. Maintain a comfortable hand position and make incremental adjustments rather than forcing large bends at once to preserve tip alignment and part integrity.

Usage recommendations

To extend tool life and maintain tip precision, avoid using the pliers on hardened materials or as a substitute for cutting or prying tools. Clean the tips after use to remove debris and store the pliers in a dry place. For electronics and jewellery work, consider using soft jaw covers when contact marks on delicate surfaces must be avoided.
