Designed to provide a firm grip in tight spaces, the KNIPEX Long Reach Needle Nose Pliers (28 71 280 and 28 81 280) have long been a trusted tool for professionals in the automotive sector. For precision work in hard-to-reach areas, these pliers allow technicians to securely hold and manipulate small parts without the need to dismantle surrounding components – making them ideal for mechanics, engineers and those working in confined spaces.13
At 280mm-long and with a very slim profile, these pliers are ideal for accessing recessed areas where traditional tools cannot reach. Made from forged, oil-hardened special tool steel, they combine strength with the necessary flexibility for delicate assembly work. The ridged, milled gripping jaws tightly hold copper pipes, cables, screws and other round parts, while the smooth milled cross slots allow for firm but careful guidance of sensitive materials such as plastic connectors and hoses. A serrated pipe grip gives controlled twisting of tougher components.
Ideal for mechanics, engineers and those working in agriculture, the KNIPEX Long Reach Needle Nose Pliers excel wherever space is limited. The combination of non-slip plastic-coated handles and a lightweight build (just 235g) ensures fatigue-free operation, even during extended use.

Whether you’re fishing out small components from behind an engine bay or working around tightly packed machinery, this design gives you extra manoeuvrability when you need it most. The finely serrated gripping area at the tip ensures a secure yet gentle hold on thin wires and connectors, making delicate repairs and installations simple.
