Make sure you are purchasing this product for the intended purpose. This is not a gripping pliers. It has smooth jaws and a curved upper profile for smoothly bending small diameter wire. The quality, as always with Knipex tools, is superb. The jaws are perfectly aligned and finished. Excellent choice.

This is the first Knipex tool that I have owned. The have a great reputation and it seems well deserved.I did make a slight improvement though, I do jewelry and other metal work with silver, copper and pewter. I opened the pliers up and used a sanding block with 400 grit paper to smooth up the faces of the jaws of the pliers. They were rougher than I prefer for the work that I do. They aren’t advertised as being jewelers pliers, if they were they would be much smoother faces but a little bit of work and they will do just fine.Knipex products aren’t inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Cheap tools are not worth the price. A quality tool helps produce quality work.

I'm a huge Knipex fan in the first place, because of the overwhelming quality and durability of their tools, so I'm probably a bit biased here.As with almost all Knipex products I have owned, these pliers are of tremendous quality. The fit and finish is some of the best that money can buy, as well it should be for the premium that you pay for Knipex products. The grips, as with all Knipex pliers of this line, are wonderful. They're long lasting and simple but effective. The length on these is particularly nice. They are both very thin and very long, enabling you to get into places that most standard 6" needle nose pliers simply won't go. Because they are made of high quality tool steel, you're able to use them without fear that the thinness has compromised their integrity or made them prone to breakage. I don't know if one could say that with other brands' extra-thin pliers, even the US-made ones.If you've not yet gotten a pair of long reach, thin needle nose, I suggest picking up a pair of these to fill the gap. They may run you twice what it costs for comparable tools from other manufacturers, but the difference in quality is worth it. In a tool with tips this small and long, not paying for quality is going to catch up with you later. Buy the best the first time out and never look back in regret!One last thing -these pliers don't seem to be stocked too well, so if you like them and they're in stock, best pick them up while you have the chance. After I got mine, it said the wait was 2-5 weeks. Ouch!

These needle nose pliers are probably the best needle nose I've seen, with a very powerful and precise grip and stayes open in whatever position you leave it. The only complaint I have is the gripping part has no groves or grooves, it's completely smooth. This makes grabbing and tugging on things (my main use for needle nose) a slippery task. This was easily fixed by grinding in some groves with a file.

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.

Really fine quality again from knipex with a very smooth opening and closing action. I did have to contact Knipex regarding the grind quality on this particular set as they did seem to have slipped the usual high quality standards that I've always got from knipex. Not so much tip alignment, but the grinding of the tips down to the rivet joint was a little sloppy. After contacting them they resolved the matter straight away with no fuss at all. Great little set of needle nose with superb accuracy.

Muito bem construído. Não é possível executar tarefas mais pesadas com ele, devido ao bico muito fino. Alinhamento perfeito.
