Long straight pliers Polax 160 mm — 160mm length, straight jaws

Long straight pliers Polax 160 mm are precision hand tools designed for gripping, bending and holding small parts. With a 160 mm overall length and straight jaws, these pliers provide a balance of reach and control for mechanical, electrical and household tasks. The compact size allows access into tighter spaces while enabling accurate manipulation of wires, pins, and small components during assembly, repair and maintenance work.

Advantages

The straight jaw profile and narrow tip offer reliable contact with small parts, improving stability when bending or holding components. The 160 mm length provides extra reach compared with shorter models while remaining compact enough for one-handed use. Ergonomic handles give comfortable grip and allow controlled application of force for precision tasks. Hardened jaws maintain shape under repeated use, supporting consistent performance in workshop and field conditions.

Suitable for

• Gripping and bending wires and pins in electrical and electronics work
• Holding small components during assembly and repair
• Reaching into confined spaces for mechanical adjustments
• Household tasks requiring precise manipulation of small parts

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw style: straight, narrow tip for precision gripping
• Intended tasks: gripping, bending, holding small parts
• Handle type: ergonomic design for controlled force application
• Material characteristics: hardened jaw surfaces for wear resistance

How to use

Position the straight jaws around the target part, aligning the narrow tips for secure contact. Apply steady pressure through the handles to grip, bend or hold the component as required. Use controlled, gradual force when bending to avoid overstressing the material. For tasks in confined spaces, adjust hand position to gain reach while maintaining a firm but comfortable grip on the handles.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the pliers before use and ensure the jaws are clean and free of damage. Select a plier size appropriate for the component to avoid slippage. Do not use the tool for cutting hardened wire or as a substitute for a wrench; use tools intended for those purposes to prevent damage and ensure safety. Store in a dry place and apply light lubrication to the pivot periodically to maintain smooth operation.
