Product Information
Full details
The Teng Tools Long Nose Pliers are professional-grade hand tools specifically designed for hobbyists, mechanics, and technicians who require precision and reach in confined work areas. Featuring a 160mm (6-inch) reach, these pliers excel at gripping, bending, and cutting wires in tight spaces, making them an essential addition to any tool kit. While they are highly durable, users should be aware that their slender profile is intended for precision work and should not be used as a substitute for heavy-duty lever-style pliers.

FAQs
Can I use these to cut hardened steel wire?
No, these are intended for light-gauge electrical wire. Cutting hardened material may damage the cutting edge.
Are the handles insulated for electrical work?
The TPR grips provide comfort, but they are not certified for high-voltage electrical protection. Always disconnect power sources before working.
What is the total length of the pliers?
The pliers are 160mm, which is approximately 6 inches in total length.
Are these pliers rust-proof?
They are made from chrome vanadium steel, which is rust-resistant, but they should be kept dry and wiped clean after use to prevent surface corrosion.
Can these be used for heavy-duty bending?
These are precision pliers. Using them for heavy-duty bending can result in the jaws becoming misaligned or the tips snapping.
Troubleshooting
Jaws feeling stiff during operation
Apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point and work the jaws back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Tips are no longer gripping small objects effectively
Check the serrated jaw faces for debris build-up and clean with a wire brush if necessary; ensure the jaws are not bent from excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers do not require any setup; they are ready for use immediately out of the packaging. To ensure longevity, keep the pivot point clean of heavy debris or grit which can impact the fluidity of the jaws. After using the pliers in damp conditions, wipe the jaws with a light machine oil to prevent surface oxidation. While the TPR handles are oil-resistant, avoid using harsh industrial solvents on the grip material to maintain their integrity. Periodically check the alignment of the tips to ensure the serrations remain effective for gripping small objects.
