Tekton Mini Needle Nose Pliers Smooth Jaws 5-3/8"L

Description

Features

Extra long slender nose - offering an exceptional reach into the narrowest spaces the extra long and slender nose tapers from a slightly wider base to a fine tip. To make sure the tip can consistently grasp the tiniest wires or parts the base of the jaws is relieved with a small gap (0.3 mm +/- 0.1 mm) to prevent contact that would keep the tips from closing tightly together

Smooth jaws - designed for jewelry model making and other delicate work the faces of the jaws are smooth and flat to safely grasp soft metals and finished parts without marring sensitive surfaces

Recessed coil spring - gently assisting the opening action of the pliers the long-arm coil spring is neatly tucked between handles so it won't get in the way or be accidentally dislodged. The spring itself has a relaxed opening angle of 137 degrees-nearly twice the opening angle of the pliers-so it stays properly tensioned when the pliers are fully opened. Coiled twice it achieves the right balance of the force required to open the pliers with that required to close them greatly improving overall control and reducing hand fatigue

Wide profile handles - generous in overall size the handles have a wide flat profile that creates a large contact area for fingertips to comfortably rest and exert exacting control. Slim vinyl grips add a bit of cushion and a nonslip surface without being bulky

Custom-engineered alloy - formulated for key performance characteristics our pliers are made from a custom-engineered steel alloy with a high carbon content that strikes an ideal balance between machinability and toughness in its final hardened state (44 - 48 HRC). This allows for precise machining of tips and edges strong well-formed teeth high hardenability on cutting blades and minimizes flexing under stress

Classic finish - the main faces of the head and upper handle get their final surface with an extra fine 320 grit polishing process. Ins
