Needle Nose Pliers Reviews

This is the best selling needle nose pliers hand tool - and it belongs to the Stanley brand name. Durable, manufactured out of forged steel, lengthy at 8" and good enough to meet strict ANSI standards, it retails at less than 5 bucks and is an all round awesome bargain.

It has an anti-corrosion coating, a double coated handled for additional comfort and grip and feels balanced and capable. It grips and cuts as you'd expect - with strength and accuracy and the chrome nickel steel blade edge is superior enough to make this a must-have tool for those in the electrical trades. Great quality, low on price, high on value, one to buy.

This is another five star rated pair of needle nose pliers, this time from Vice Grip. Like the previous product, it's an 8" pliers, user friendly with a nice, comfortable design, cushioned handles and a good overall balanced weight and feel when in-hand.

Manufactured from tough stuff - nickel chromium steel - with a cutting edge that has been through an induction hardening process to add to it's cutting power, strength and longevity, this is a pair of pliers that were built to last. They meet with ANSI standards, are up to pro-use and all for under 10 bucks.

These are the Klein needle nose pliers and considered by many professionals to be the cream of the crop. Another full five star rated product, Klein tools are known for their quality electrical tools, attention to detail and longevity. Available in three lengths - 6, 7 and 8", the jaws are knurled which makes them flexible - not only will they provide a superior grip and cut, they're great for looping, curling and wrapping wire.

They cut through 14 gauge wire with ease on testing and the cushioned curved handles felt pretty pleasant to hold - you kinda get the feeling that the pliers want to do the work for you, rather than have you doing the grunt work. Top quality, USA manufacture - if you want to be the best ... buy the best.

These are the best thin needle nose pliers and again - a five star rating and from the Klein Tools range. They possess the same curved handle of the previous product, the same attention to detail - with a few extra features that the standard model lack.

The nose is longer and narrower, for extra close, detailed work and the jaw has a spring self-opening action that delivers precision results and an easier method of operation. The handles are curved, dipped for added grip and comfort and of course the jaws are knurled for wrapping and looping. A beautifully designed hand tool, worth every cent - all the usual superior quality you expect of Klein tools.

This is almost a needle nose pliers set, due to the four-in-one aspect that the pliers offer. They cut, crimp, strip and grip, which makes them a great all-rounder for the electricians tool bag. The induction hardened cutting edges deliver a precise cutting action - I cut through 16 gauge wire with no issues and felt as though the pliers would make short work of heavier gauge wire with the same attitude.

The capacity for wire stripping is impressive - 10/12/14 AWG - and the curved plastic coated handles are comfortable enough to use regularly across a working day. The head is manufactured from steel that's been both tempered and oil hardened, which makes for a very durable hand tool. The price reflects the quality - and you won't find them wanting.
