needlenose
Pointy gripping tool
Needlenose describes tools with long, thin, tapered jaws that come to a point—especially pliers designed for gripping small objects or working in tight spaces: Hand me the needlenose pliers.
The shape resembles a needle's point.
Needlenose pliers are standard in electronics work, jewelry making, and fishing tackle boxes.
