KNIPEX - 31 11 160 Tools - Needle Nose Pliers (3111160)

Exceptional workmanship, great attention is paid to the hinge, not too night nor is it loose.

Really fine quality again from knipex with a very smooth opening and closing action. I did have to contact Knipex regarding the grind quality on this particular set as they did seem to have slipped the usual high quality standards that I've always got from knipex. Not so much tip alignment, but the grinding of the tips down to the rivet joint was a little sloppy. After contacting them they resolved the matter straight away with no fuss at all. Great little set of needle nose with superb accuracy.

Muy buenas pinzas, fueron un regalo y mi hermano no las suelta para nada muy recomendadas

Muito bem construído. Não é possível executar tarefas mais pesadas com ele, devido ao bico muito fino. Alinhamento perfeito.

Great for retaining things out of holes

Great German quality. Very thin and strong.

I have used many cheap tools throughout the years, and for many purposes they are fine. But finely crafted objects, especially tools, are things of joy that can last for generations and make life better and easier. I have a number of Knipex tools and know them to be among the best. This set of needle nose pliers is no exception. Everything is precisely made from excellent materials. The price is significantly higher than even a good set of alternative pliers; however, the quality of the Knipex is FAR superior to most of the common models, and that quality just makes them work much better and last much longer. The only thing that gave me some pause in buying these pliers was the description of them having smooth surfaces on the faces of the jaws, because that could easily cause slippage when using them. I was pleased to find that the jaws actually have finely machined, tiny ridges that will not easily mar the workpiece but will grip it well enough for the more delicate tasks these little pliers are designed to handle. Mine will be primarily devoted to small electrical work where the long, thin jaws are exactly what are needed to hold and bend components. I can see them being used for jewelry, gunsmithing, or other projects where small items and tight spaces are present. I never like to abuse my tools; however, these pliers are strong and durable if used in a reasonable manner. This shouldn't be the only set of needle nose pliers you own (Knipex makes some great heavier models), but if you do the kind of work they are designed for, you shouldn't be without them. They really are that good, as are the other Knipex tools I have. Make sure you can keep them in a safe place, because people will want to walk away with tools like this if they ever get their hands on them -- and you will feel the pain of loss when you need them and discover they're missing.
