Chain Nose Pliers NWS 140-69-170

The NWS Chain Nose Pliers NWS 140-69-170 are precision radio (chain nose) pliers designed for detailed gripping, bending and shaping where access is limited. Manufactured in Germany from durable steel, these pliers measure 170 mm in length and have a narrow, tapered nose suitable for handling small parts and fasteners up to approximately 1.5 cm across. The ergonomic handle in black, grey and red provides a secure hold while the lightweight construction (about 145 g) reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Advantages

These chain nose pliers combine fine tip control with robust construction for reliability in both workshop and field use. The tapered jaws allow precise manipulation of wires, small components and delicate fittings, while the steel body ensures long service life. The tri-color ergonomic handle improves grip and positioning during intricate operations, and the compact length makes the tool convenient to carry and use in confined spaces.

• Electrical and electronics assembly and repair
• Jewellery making and small metalworking tasks
• Grip, bend and shape small fasteners and wire ends
• General DIY projects requiring precision gripping

How to use

Hold the pliers by the ergonomic handle and align the tapered jaws with the workpiece. Use the fine tips to grasp small parts, bend wire or manipulate tiny components, applying controlled pressure to avoid marring delicate surfaces. For fastening or loosening small nuts, position the jaws around the fastener and turn with steady force. Maintain a steady wrist position to maximize precision when working in confined or hard-to-reach areas.

Usage recommendations

For long service life, keep the pliers clean and dry after use, and apply a light lubricant to the joint periodically. Use the tool only for tasks within its size and strength range—avoid cutting hardened wire or using the pliers as a hammer. Store in a dry toolbox or protective pouch to prevent corrosion and preserve the ergonomic handle finish.
