Bent nose pliers YATO YT-2143, chromium-vanadium steel, PVC handles, 150 mm

YATO YT-2143 bent nose pliers are 150 mm long precision hand tools made from chromium-vanadium steel with PVC-coated handles. The angled nose provides improved access in confined or awkward spaces, allowing controlled gripping, bending and manipulation of small parts. The hardened cutting and gripping surfaces deliver wear resistance and consistent performance across electrical, automotive and general repair tasks.

Advantages

The bent nose geometry offers better visibility and reach when working at tight angles compared with straight-nose pliers. Chromium-vanadium steel construction ensures high hardness and fatigue resistance for repeated use. PVC-coated handles provide a comfortable non-slip grip and electrical insulation for safer handling during light electrical tasks. The compact 150 mm length balances accessibility and leverage for precision work.

Suitable for

• Gripping and bending wires and small components in electrical installations
• Accessing and manipulating parts in automotive repair and maintenance
• General workshop, hobby and household repair tasks requiring entry into confined spaces

Key specifications

• Overall length: 150 mm
• Material: chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) steel
• Handle coating: PVC for improved grip
• Tip style: bent/angled nose for improved access
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment

How to use

Select the appropriate pliers for the task and inspect the tool for visible damage before use. Position the bent nose around the workpiece, applying steady pressure on the handles to grip, bend or pull as required. For cutting tasks use only on materials within the tool’s capacity; avoid twisting motions that may stress the joint. After use, clean debris from the jaws and store the pliers in a dry tool box or rack to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, wear appropriate eye protection and avoid using the pliers on live mains circuits. Use the bent nose pliers for precision gripping and bending rather than heavy prying; pairing with the correct pliers type ensures longer tool life and consistent results.
