Knipex 28 81 280 Long Reach Needle Nose Pliers 280mm

Product Description

The KNIPEX 28 81 280 is a long reach needle nose plier designed for gripping, positioning, and manipulating components in confined or deep-access locations. Built to DIN ISO 5745 standards, it features an oil-hardened and tempered steel construction for lasting edge retention and durability under repeated use. The jaw is serrated for secure grip on fasteners, wire, and fittings, and the 45-degree angled head allows access to areas that straight-nose pliers cannot reach. The ergonomic plastic handle is red-colored for easy identification in a tool bag. This tool is used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other tradespeople who need precise, controlled reach in tight spaces.

The 28 81 280 is well suited for residential and light commercial service work where access to recessed fasteners, terminals, or small components is required. The extended 280 mm overall length combined with the 45-degree needle nose head makes it practical for panel work, rough-in plumbing, and HVAC control wiring tasks. The transverse jaw profiles add gripping security across a range of material shapes. This plier is a single-piece tool intended for professional hand-tool use and is not tether capable.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for gripping, bending, and positioning tasks only — do not use it as a substitute for a wrench or apply torque beyond the jaw capacity. Always de-energize electrical panels and shut off fluid systems before working in areas where this plier will be used near live conductors or pressurized lines. Inspect the jaw and handle before each use and remove from service if cracking or jaw deformation is present.
