Needle-nose pliers YATO YT-20435, 240 mm, Cr-V steel, hardness 58–62 HRC

YATO YT-20435 is a 240 mm needle-nose pliers engineered from chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) steel with a material hardness of 58–62 HRC. The long, tapered jaws and slim profile allow access to confined spaces for precision gripping, bending and cutting tasks. The hardened jaws provide wear resistance and maintain edge geometry during repeated use, while the overall length gives leverage for controlled force in assembly, repair and finishing work.

Advantages

The tool combines a slim needle-nose profile with hardened Cr-V steel to deliver sustained precision and durability. At 240 mm length it balances reach and control, enabling fine manipulation without sacrificing strength. Hardened jaws rated 58–62 HRC resist deformation during cutting and gripping operations, and the ergonomic handle shape supports accurate positioning and steady force application in delicate tasks.

Suitable for

• Electronics assembly and repair where access to small components is required
• Jewellery making and fine metalwork for bending and holding small parts
• Automotive trim and interior work in narrow gaps
• General workshop tasks requiring long-nosed pliers for reaching into tight spaces

Key specifications

• Overall length: 240 mm
• Material: Chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) steel
• Material hardness: 58–62 HRC
• Type: Needle-nose / long-nosed pliers

How to use

Grip the pliers by the handles with the jaws aligned to the workpiece. Use the tapered tips to reach into confined areas and position small components or wires between the jaws. For bending or shaping, apply steady pressure near the pivot for greater control; for cutting or pinching tasks, position the workpiece as close to the pivot as practical to maximize mechanical advantage. Maintain a stable hand position and avoid twisting the pliers under load to preserve jaw alignment.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool before use for signs of wear or damage. Use the needle-nose pliers on appropriate materials within their hardness and strength limits; avoid using them as a substitute for heavy-duty cutting or prying tools. Clean and lightly lubricate the pivot periodically to ensure smooth operation and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
