Good vid, most people have no clue there's a difference. Needles are delicate, not the tool for every job but good at what they're for.
That was the best video of the week so far.
I have suddenly realised I need a pair of these after watching the demo.
Thanks for stopping by!!
@@ParklanCustom It was well worth it. Your demonstration showed what the needle nose can do. I have used long nose pliers for years and so many times I have been frustrated but not being able to open them when in a tight spot.
I own a lot of Knipex products and have never regretted a single purchase so will look forward to my next!
I agree 100%, there is a huge difference between long nose and needle nose plier that I wasn’t aware of at one point. I’m hoping this community will be a place where we can all share our knowledge and experiences. I hope to see you again! it’s a pleasure having you as part of this community!
@@ParklanCustom I have been fixing all sorts of things for over forty years and learned something knew from you. Subed because of it.
Looking forward to your new channel.
DIY Tip: You could buy a sacrificial set of "long nose pliers", and either use a grinder, sanding belt, or bench grinder to grind down the tips to your preferred size/thickness. Depending on what you need it's a great method for making a tool you want. Especially because they'll still have some decent meat on them for strength, along with the cross hatching on the inside, that many smaller/thinner pliers don't have.
One thing I use smooth jaw needle nose pliers like this for is paracord and knotting work, reaching through a loop of cord to pull the working end through. Working with cord, you absolutely do not want teeth on the jaws snagging and tearing up your work. In fact, I've sanded and polished the inner jaw surfaces on my pliers to make sure they are completely free of burrs.
Dude, i work with small cables as a locksmith from norway. You are posibly the one guy who show how a nidle nose pliers reach in a small hole through a 2x4. I usaly use a surgical long reach plier to pull cables through smaller holes
🤣🤣 your probably right!
I think these are for holding flat items like smaller sheets of metal, plastic etc.
What we usually call needle nose pliers, Knipex calls “long nose pliers”. Their “long nose pliers” are what people think of when they think of needle nose pliers. Each have totally different uses. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. The Knipex needle nose are not really meant for fasteners or wire.
Thanks for sharing your insight!
now I understand
I just got a pair of these Knipex Needle Nose pliers, and on mine they bind up a bit when opening just a bit about 20degrees open (there's a stop) as the bearing surface upon which the lower jaw slides has a slight bump. Is this how they're made or did I get one that is improperly machined? Are they meant to open and close completely smoothly for the entire movement?
mine had a little resistance, but its nothing that didnt end up working its self out. maybe lube it. you can always send them back and get a replacement, anytime I get something that doesnt seem right, I send it back.
Just ordered some of these. They seem like they could be used in a variety of situations, my main use for them will probably be fishing though. They seem perfect for hook removal.
I want a pair of fencing pliers Mixed with a pair of Linemans pliers. So it would be like a linemans pliers with a hammer head on the side.
That’s sounds like a good idea, Knipex would be the company to design something like that.
