The 160mm Radio Plier Long Nose is a slim, precision long‑nose plier intended for gripping, bending and light cutting in confined or hard‑to‑reach areas. Its primary use is in electronics and electrical assembly work where access to small components and tight spaces is required, making it ideal for radio, telecoms and general electrical trades.

Manufactured from chrome‑vanadium steel and heat treated for durability, the plier features induction‑hardened cutting edges for longer life. The tool is finished with a satin chrome electroplate to improve corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The overall length is 160 mm, with a slender tapered jaw profile that provides good visibility and precise handling of small wires and components. The tool does not have a threaded or headed element, so thread/head/drive specifications are not applicable.

The jaws are serrated for positive gripping of small parts and terminals, and the integrated cutting edge will comfortably cope with soft copper and aluminium conductor cores and smaller multi‑strand cables commonly encountered in electronics; typical cutting capacity is in the light‑duty range. Handles are dipped in a comfortable, slip‑resistant vinyl for improved grip and operator comfort; note that these handles are not VDE insulated and should not be used on live circuits unless a voltage rating is stated.

Typical applications include radio and communications assembly and repair, PCB and component work, electrical installation tasks where access is restricted, small‑parts assembly, model making and general maintenance in automotive and aerospace support workshops. The combination of chrome‑vanadium construction, heat treatment and chrome finish gives the pliers a useful balance of strength, wear resistance and corrosion protection for workshop and site use.
