The Faithfull Long Reach Bent Nose Pliers are specialized hand tools designed for automotive technicians, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work in cramped engine bays or restricted machinery housings. Their primary benefit is the combination of an extended 335mm reach and a double-jointed compound action that provides maximum leverage and jaw opening with minimal handle movement, though users should note that the specialized design is less suited for heavy-duty gripping tasks compared to standard-sized pliers.

The total length is 335mm (13 inches).
While made of steel, the handles are vinyl-dipped, not VDE-rated. They are not intended for use as insulated tools on live electrical circuits.
The pliers feature a polished finish over drop-forged chrome vanadium steel, which offers good corrosion resistance, but they should be wiped dry after exposure to moisture.
The compound action allows for a greater jaw opening than would be possible with a single pivot, which is essential for reaching into narrow gaps where handle movement is limited.
No, these are designed for retrieving and gripping tasks. Attempting to cut thick materials may damage the jaw alignment.
Apply a small amount of penetrating oil or light machine lubricant to the pivot points and work the handle back and forth.
Check the serrated jaw teeth for debris or built-up grease; clean with a stiff wire brush to restore the bite.
These pliers are ready for use immediately out of the packaging. No assembly or specific setup is required. To maintain the longevity of the tool, avoid using it as a pry bar or hammer, as the delicate joints and bent nose design can be compromised by excessive side-loading or impact force. Keep the pivot points lightly lubricated with a machine oil to ensure the double-jointed action remains smooth. After working in oily or greasy environments, wipe the jaws and handles down with a clean, dry cloth to prevent chemical degradation of the vinyl sleeves.
