Pliers NWS 124-69-160 flat nose 160 mm

Flat nose pliers NWS model 124-69-160, 160 mm in length, are precision hand tools designed for gripping, bending and holding flat workpieces and wires. The compact, straight-jaw design provides controlled contact with work surfaces and allows access in confined spaces. These pliers are intended for mechanical and electrical tasks where flat, non-round gripping is required and for general assembly and repair work in workshops.

Advantages

Forged construction and hardened jaws ensure stable gripping and long service life while maintaining jaw geometry under load. The flat, smooth inner faces provide a secure hold on sheet metal, strips and flattened wire without excessive marking. A comfortable insulated handle profile supports extended use and precise control in detail tasks. The 160 mm overall length balances reach and maneuverability for both open workbench operations and tighter assemblies.

Suitable for

• Gripping and bending flat metal strips and sheet edges
• Holding and shaping flattened or rectangular wire
• Precision mechanical assembly and small repairs
• Electrical work where flat contact and insulation are needed
• Workshop tasks in limited access areas

Key specifications

• Tool type: flat nose pliers with straight jaws
• Length: 160 mm overall
• Jaw style: flat, parallel inner faces for non-round gripping
• Material and finish: forged steel with hardened cutting/gripping surfaces
• Handle: ergonomic insulated grips for control and comfort

How to use

Position the flat jaw faces on the workpiece so pressure is distributed evenly across the contact area to avoid concentrated marks. For bending, apply steady force near the jaw pivot to use leverage rather than squeezing at the tips. Use the pliers to hold parts steady while performing assembly or soldering operations; where electrical work is involved, ensure appropriate insulation and de-energized circuits before contact. Store the tool dry and free from corrosive substances to preserve the hardened surfaces and handle integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers within their intended capacity: do not apply excessive torque or use as a hammer, pry bar or on very hard fasteners. For safe electrical tasks, verify insulation ratings and follow local safety standards. Regularly inspect jaws for wear and handles for damage to maintain secure, accurate performance.
