Review: Great "screw went down hole" pliers. Top notch, same as the rest of them. - Great down-the-hole pliers for grabbing, or small electric work....man just they are great. I dunno how to not sound like they are paying me or something, value is off the charts, great quality....not a whole lot more money. QC reminds me of Fiskars a bit - top notch. Made in Germany, so what do you expect really. You get it.
Review: Typical high Knipex quality. - I have used many cheap tools throughout the years, and for many purposes they are fine. But finely crafted objects, especially tools, are things of joy that can last for generations and make life better and easier. I have a number of Knipex tools and know them to be among the best. This set of needle nose pliers is no exception. Everything is precisely made from excellent materials. The price is significantly higher than even a good set of alternative pliers; however, the quality of the Knipex is FAR superior to most of the common models, and that quality just makes them work much better and last much longer. The only thing that gave me some pause in buying these pliers was the description of them having smooth surfaces on the faces of the jaws, because that could easily cause slippage when using them. I was pleased to find that the jaws actually have finely machined, tiny ridges that will not easily mar the workpiece but will grip it well enough for the more delicate tasks these little pliers are designed to handle. Mine will be primarily devoted to small electrical work where the long, thin jaws are exactly what are needed to hold and bend components. I can see them being used for jewelry, gunsmithing, or other projects where small items and tight spaces are present. I never like to abuse my tools; however, these pliers are strong and durable if used in a reasonable manner. This shouldn't be the only set of needle nose pliers you own (Knipex makes some great heavier models), but if you do the kind of work they are designed for, you shouldn't be without them. They really are that good, as are the other Knipex tools I have. Make sure you can keep them in a safe place, because people will want to walk away with tools like this if they ever get their hands on them -- and you will feel the pain of loss when you need them and discover they're missing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a model with teeth?**
A: Not from Knipex, unfortunately. However, this Gedore version has a serrated gripping area: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UZ36QA

**Q: What is the width of the jaws at the tip?**
A: 3/32"

**Q: Are these pliers rust resistant or better yet, rust proof?**
A: if you keep them well lubed they will serve well, the premium chrome model 31 13 160 will be more naturally rust-resistant.

**Q: when you push side-to-side near the tip of the jaws, does the 2 halves of the jaw move side to side?**
A: If you are asking if these are flimsy I can tell you they are not. These are very pricey and you do get what you pay for here. Keep in mind though that these are not heavy duty needle nose. You will not get a crushing grip with these as they are very job specific. Suitable in my opinion for electronic work and squeazing into extremely tight or narrow spots. As an electrician I use them usually if something is just beyond reach in a narrow hole that my other needlenose are too beefy for. I hardly ever break them out but when you do need a grabbing tool as narrow as these, they become a lifesaver and you're thrilled to have them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should have bought these first
*by S***N on July 6, 2025*

Replacing a cr*ppy pair made by one of the random named PRC suppliers. The last pair were made from pretty soft steel and even when knew the tips were offset enough to be problematic. After a few uses the jaws bent a bit and the pliers were pretty much useless. The knipex pliers were about 2x more expensive but when they arrived immediately noticed the jaws aligned very closely and gripped small parts much better. After several uses no change even in the skinny tips so these are likely made with real tool steel instead of some cheap substitute. Bottom line with precision tools a bargain probably isn't a bargain but good quality - time is money.
