KNIPEX Long Reach Needle Nose Pliers 280mm 28 71 280

KNIPEX 28 71 280 Long Reach Pliers for Awkward Access Jobs

There are workshop and service jobs where the part is visible, but your hand simply cannot get to it properly. A clip sits behind a bracket, a small screw drops into a housing, a cable needs guiding through a narrow gap, or a pipe needs holding steady inside a crowded engine bay. The KNIPEX 28 71 280 long reach needle nose pliers are designed for exactly those moments, where access and control matter more than brute force.

At 280 mm long, these pliers give mechanics, maintenance engineers and installers extra reach without turning the tool into something clumsy. The slim half-round tips help you work past obstructions and approach the workpiece from a better angle than standard pliers usually allow. That makes them useful for automotive work, machinery servicing, panel work, assembly, maintenance and general workshop tasks where small components need to be gripped, positioned, guided or retrieved.

The transverse milled profiles are shaped for careful grip on round parts, while the serrated pipe grip gives extra security when holding or twisting suitable workpieces. The black atramentized finish, polished head and plastic-coated handles keep the tool practical for regular professional use. With a jaw length of 76.5 mm, 20.0 mm head width, 3.0 mm tip width and 2.5 mm tip thickness, the working end stays narrow enough for detailed access while still feeling robust in the hand.

Choose the 28 71 280 when a standard needle nose plier cannot reach the work cleanly. It is intended for gripping, holding, guiding and positioning rather than heavy cutting, making it a smart addition to automotive, engineering, electrical maintenance and service toolkits.

Why Choose the KNIPEX 28 71 280 Long Reach Pliers?
