Snap-on’s needle-nose pliers

September 25, 2019

Snap-on’s Talon Grip 5-Inch Plastisol Grip Needle Nose Pliers are built to provide increased pulling power with a relocated joint, optimized handle shape and diamond-serrated jaws. Rounded jaw edges are engineered to allow technicians to make loops and bends without fear of cutting wires. The jaw tips are aligned and feature machined teeth to facilitate more accurate gripping strength and positive control. The tool’s contoured handle is designed to offer a more comfortable grip and added leverage.
