Knipex Tools 28 81 280 – 11-inch Extra-Long Angled Needle Nose Pliers

Product overview

The Knipex 28 81 280 is an 11-inch extra-long needle nose plier crafted for precision in tight spaces. The 45-degree angled jaws guide the gripping surface toward the work, helping you maintain control while maneuvering around obstacles. It blends reach with finesse for a wide range of assembly and adjustment tasks.

Key design features

• Four grooves in the jaws enable careful gripping of small pipes, screws, cables, and round parts
• Slim, half-round tips provide access to deep or recessed components
• Multiple gripping zones support pulling, twisting, and guiding within a single tool
• Serrated pipe grip handles round parts with a capacity up to 2-1/4 inches for secure handling
• Forged from high-grade German tool steel; oil-hardened and tempered with ergonomic, multi-component grips

Durability and build

Built to endure demanding tasks, the tool uses hardened German tool steel to maintain edge retention. The oil-hardening and tempering process, combined with ergonomic grips, aims to deliver reliable performance across long work sessions.

Practical applications

• Automotive work: reach behind components to grip, pull, or adjust fittings in constrained engine bays
• Mechanical engineering: guide tubes, screws, and fasteners with steady control
• Electrical and assembly tasks: position small parts reliably in cramped assemblies without slippage

Tips for best results

Align the part with the appropriate gripping zone, apply steady pressure, and use the angled jaws to minimize hand strain while working in tight quarters.
