Knipex 28 71 280 Long Reach Needle Nose Pliers

Product Description

The KNIPEX 28 71 280 is a long reach needle nose plier designed for gripping, bending, and positioning in confined or deep-access spaces. The serrated jaw provides a secure hold on wire, fittings, and small components, while the needle nose head allows precise work in tight areas. The tool measures 280 mm (approximately 11.02 inches) overall and weighs approximately 0.535 pounds. Oil-hardened and tempered construction adds durability and edge retention. The ergonomic plastic handle with red grip provides comfortable control during extended use. This plier is built to DIN ISO 5745 standards and is suited for trade professionals who need reliable reach and grip in demanding environments.

The KNIPEX 28 71 280 is used across a range of trade applications including electrical, HVAC, and plumbing work where standard-length pliers cannot access the work area. The extra-long design and transverse jaw profiles make it well suited for reaching into enclosures, panels, or behind equipment to manipulate wire, tubing, or fasteners. It is a single-piece tool intended for individual technician use and does not include a side cutter. The ergonomic style reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks on the job site or in the shop.
