Knipex 28 71 280 Sba Long Reach Needle Nose Plier

Product Description

The KNIPEX 28 71 280 SBA is a long reach needle nose plier designed for gripping, bending, and positioning in confined or deep-access areas. The serrated jaw provides positive grip on fasteners, fittings, and wire, while the needle nose head allows precise placement in tight spaces. The tool measures 280 mm (approximately 11.1 inches) overall and weighs approximately 0.54 pounds. The oil-hardened and tempered steel construction extends service life under repeated use. Transverse profile serrations across the jaw face prevent workpiece slippage. Built to DIN ISO 5745 standards, this plier suits professionals who need reach and control in a single tool.

This plier is used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work where standard-length pliers cannot reach the workpiece. Typical applications include reaching behind panels, into ductwork flanges, around piping, or into electrical enclosures to position or retrieve small parts. The ergonomic plastic handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The very long design makes it particularly useful in residential and light commercial service scenarios where panel access is limited.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed trades and trained service professionals. Always de-energize electrical systems and shut off gas or fluid supply before using any hand tool in proximity to live circuits, pressurized lines, or moving components. Inspect the tool for damage before each use and do not apply force beyond the tool's rated capacity. Not tether capable — use appropriate tool retention methods when working at height or over open equipment.
