Needle-nose pliers YATO YT-20400 — Chromium-vanadium steel, PVC handles, 340 mm

YATO YT-20400 needle-nose pliers, 340 mm overall length, are made from chromium-vanadium steel to provide high strength and wear resistance. The long, tapered jaws enable precise gripping and access into confined spaces, while PVC-coated handles improve grip comfort and reduce slippage during prolonged use. These pliers are intended for tasks requiring fine manipulation, bending, and holding of small parts in electrical, automotive and general mechanical work.

Advantages

The chromium-vanadium steel construction ensures durability and maintains cutting and gripping edges under repeated use. The extended 340 mm length gives increased reach for work in deep or narrow assemblies. PVC-coated handles enhance operator comfort and provide a non-conductive surface for safer handling in environments where insulation is beneficial. The needle-nose profile allows controlled precision when manipulating small components or wiring.

Suitable for

• Precision gripping and bending of wires and small components
• Reaching into narrow or recessed areas in machinery and electrical panels
• Automotive repairs that require access to tight spaces
• General mechanical assembly and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 340 mm
• Material: chromium-vanadium steel for the jaws and body
• Handle coating: PVC for improved grip and comfort
• Jaw type: long tapered needle-nose for precision and reach

How to use

Hold the pliers by the PVC-coated handles and position the tapered jaws around the workpiece. Apply steady pressure to grip, bend or pull components as needed, maintaining control to avoid marring delicate parts. Use the extended reach to access confined areas; when cutting or twisting wire, position material close to the pivot for maximum leverage. After use, clean the jaws of debris and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when working with sharp wires or in restricted spaces. Do not use the pliers on live electrical circuits unless they are specifically rated for electrical insulation. For heavy cutting or prying tasks, select a tool designed for those purposes to avoid damaging the needle-nose pliers.
