needle nose pliers

Slender jaw tool

Needle nose pliers are pliers with long, narrow, tapered jaws for gripping small objects or reaching into tight spaces.

They're essential for electrical work, jewelry making, and fine mechanical tasks where standard pliers would be too bulky: I used needle nose pliers to bend the wire into shape.

Also called long nose pliers.
