Needle Nose plier question....

[Kevin54]

Almost everyone has a set of needle nose pliers....straight, 30 degree angle, 45 degree angle. Has anyone ever been in a tight spot that something like a looped needle nose...something like 120 degrees would be great. Something where you could reach around a small flange, or over a group of wires under a dashboard.

See the similarities?

I saw the Concord at EXPO 1986. It flew over the city several times. That was the loudest airplane I have witnessed. The pilot moved the nose up and down as they passed.

That's a hell of a good idea. I don't know if it exists.

I have a pair of bent hemostats for those hard to reach situations.

That's a good question. I know I certainly could have used something like that.

Is that what happens when you loan your pliers out to "that" guy?

I'd imagine true 120' are rare because if it's really needed for access, it's going to be something you can't see at that angle either.

I mean that there are already Knipex pliers called 120' that shouldn't be. Their double-bend pliers that they call 120', are just offset pliers, not 120' !

Oh great, now there's more tools I have to buy.

How drunk was the guy who designed them?
