Needle-Nose Pliers

Needle-nose pliers, also known as long-nose pliers and snipe-nose pliers, are both cutting and holding pliers used by artisans, jewellery designers, electricians and other tradespeople to bend, reposition and snip wire. Their namesake long nose gives fine control, while a cutting edge near the pliers' joint adds the convenience of a second tool in one. Their long, narrow shape makes them useful for reaching into small areas where cable or other material has become stuck or is otherwise unreachable by hand.
