Knipex shows nose for tools
Knipex Tools introduced its series of Needle-Nose Combination Pliers.
The pliers are designed for all common installation and repair work that involves gripping, bending, holding, pulling and cutting the workpiece.
“The Knipex Needle-Nose Combination Pliers are some of the most reliable pliers you can pull from your toolbox,” said Todd Shumate, president, Knipex Tools. “The pliers’ sleek, but rugged, design makes them a diverse pocket tool for a countless number of repair and installation jobs.”
At a length of six inches, the Needle-Nose Combination Pliers have a slim-head design and anti-twist, pointed jaws, making the pliers useful when working in tough, confined areas. The pliers include a special convex contour on one jaw for a highly secure, three-point grip on workpieces. The pulling groove in the gripping area permits small parts, such as nails, pins and bolts, to be held and pulled without slipping.
Other features for the pliers include a versatile pipe gripping zone and a special, hardened cutting edge with a high leverage joint for easy cutting of soft, medium-hard and hard wire. Designed with stable tips for a long service life, the pliers are forged from high-grade, oil-hardened German tool steel and are available with non-slip plastic handles or multi-component grips.
