needlenose pliers
Slender jaw tool
Needlenose pliers are a hand tool with long, tapered jaws that come to a point, allowing access to tight spaces where standard pliers won't fit.
The slim profile makes them useful for gripping small objects, bending wire, and reaching into electronic components or jewelry settings: I used needlenose pliers to fish out the screw that fell into the engine compartment.
