Nose Plier / Cutter

Nose pliers are also known as pointy-nose pliers, long-nose pliers, pinch-nose pliers, or snipe-nose pliers. These are devices widely used for cutting and holding pliers used by artisans, jewelry designers, electricians, network engineers, and other tradesmen to bend, re-position and snip wire. They are handy for reaching into small spaces where wires or other materials have become caught or are unreachable with fingers or other means because to their lengthy form.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• To avoid your palm or fingers being squeezed while the tools are closed, choose pliers or wire cutters with a grip span of 6 cm – 9 cm (2 1/2 – 3 1/2 in.).
• Use adjustable pliers to keep a solid grip on the workpiece while retaining a comfortable grip on your hand (i.e., hand grasp is not too wide).
• Use tools only if they are in good condition.
• Ensure the cutting edges are razor-sharp. Cutting with dull and worn-down cutting edges need several times greater force.
• Check the toothed jaws for cleanliness and sharpness. Jaws that are greasy or worn down might put your safety at risk. Such tools also need more force to hold the workpiece, which raises the danger of injury.
• Oil pliers and wire cutters regularly. A drop of oil on the hinge will make the tools easier to use.
