The Bahco 2427 G-160 ERGO™ Bent Snipe Nose Pliers are designed for professionals who need precise gripping and cutting in confined spaces. Their 60° bent tip, slim serrated jaws, and comfortable ERGO™ handles offer excellent control and reduced fatigue during extended use. While ideal for working with softer wires and materials, users should be aware of the specific cutting capacities to avoid damaging the tool.

ERGO™ refers to Bahco's scientific approach to tool design, focusing on ergonomics. These pliers feature two-component handles designed for maximum grip, comfort, and reduced strain during use.
The pliers are rated to cut copper wire up to 2.5-3mm, iron wire up to 1.8mm, and iron alloy wire up to 1.4-1.6mm.
No, these pliers are designed for softer materials. Attempting to cut hard wire, steel cable, or other tough materials can damage the cutting edges and void the warranty.
The 60° bent tip is designed to provide better access and maneuverability when working in confined or awkward spaces, allowing you to reach areas that straight-nosed pliers cannot.
The spring helps to open the jaws automatically after each squeeze, reducing user fatigue. The on/off function allows you to disable the spring when needed, for example, when a constant grip pressure is required or for storage.
Keep the pliers clean, dry, and lubricated at the pivot point. Store them in a dry place and avoid using them for tasks beyond their specified cutting and gripping capacities.
The pliers have a phosphate finish, which is a type of anti-corrosion treatment. This finish helps protect the high-performance alloy steel from rust and degradation, extending the tool's lifespan.
Check the pivot point for debris or lack of lubrication. Clean the pivot and apply a small amount of light oil. Ensure the return spring is not obstructed.
Verify that the material being cut is within the specified capacity (e.g., copper up to 3mm). For harder materials, use a dedicated cutting tool. Inspect the cutting edges for damage or dullness; if damaged, the tool may need replacement.
Ensure the spring mechanism is properly engaged and not blocked by dirt or damage. If the spring is broken, contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement options.
Clean the serrated jaws to remove any grease or debris. Ensure the jaws are properly aligned. For very smooth or hard materials, a stronger grip might require different tooling.
Setup:
These pliers are ready for immediate use out of the packaging. The integrated return spring is typically engaged by default; to disengage it, simply slide the small lever or mechanism usually located near the pivot point (refer to the tool for exact location). Ensure the spring is set to your preference before beginning work.
Compatibility:
This tool is designed for general-purpose gripping and cutting of soft materials such as copper wire (up to 3mm), iron wire (up to 1.8mm), and iron alloy wire (up to 1.6mm). It is not intended for cutting hard wire, steel cable, or for heavy-duty prying or twisting applications.
