Needle-nose pliers YATO YT-21154, chromium-vanadium steel, 160 mm, insulated red/yellow handles

YATO YT-21154 needle-nose pliers are precision hand tools forged from chromium-vanadium steel and measure 160 mm in overall length. The tool features slim, tapered jaws that provide access to confined spaces, making it suitable for fine gripping, bending and cutting tasks. Insulated red/yellow handles offer improved grip and electrical work visibility while the hardened and ground jaw surfaces maintain shape and cutting performance under frequent use.

Advantages

The chromium-vanadium steel construction delivers high tensile strength and wear resistance for extended service life. Slim, elongated jaws enable precise access in narrow areas and allow manipulation of small components. Insulated red/yellow handles increase user visibility and provide comfortable holding during prolonged use. Hardened cutting edges retain sharpness for reliable wire cutting and trimming.

Suitable for

• Electronics assembly and repair
• Precision mechanical work and small-part manipulation
• Gripping and bending in tight or confined spaces
• Wire cutting and trimming in installation and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Tool type: needle-nose pliers with cutting edge
• Material: chromium-vanadium steel
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Jaw style: slim, tapered for access to narrow areas
• Handle: insulated red/yellow, ergonomic profile
• Finish: hardened and ground working surfaces

How to use

Grip the pliers by the insulated handles and position the tapered jaws around the component or wire to be manipulated. For gripping or bending, apply steady pressure and use the jaw tips for delicate positioning; for cutting, place the wire into the cutting edge near the pivot and squeeze the handles firmly. Use the long nose to reach into confined areas while supporting workpieces steadily to avoid slippage. After use, clean working surfaces to remove debris and store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use these needle-nose pliers for precision tasks where reach and control are required; avoid applying excessive torque beyond intended wire-cutting and gripping functions. The insulated handles improve visibility but do not guarantee protection against high-voltage exposure—verify insulation rating before use in live electrical circuits. Regularly inspect jaws and cutting edges and sharpen or replace the tool if wear compromises performance.
