KNIPEX Long Nose Pliers with Cutter are designed for precision and durability, featuring elastic tips that remain stable even when twisted. These snipe nose side cutting pliers, also known as stork beak pliers, have half-round, long, pointed jaws and hardened cutting edges (approx. 61 HRC) suitable for cutting soft, medium hard, and hard wire. The slim long nose is ideal for working in confined areas, and the pliers are made from vanadium steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened for enhanced strength and longevity.
