Compact Precision Compact Long Nose Pliers (Needle Nose),Professional Grade, ESD Safe with Carbon Steel Jaws. Made in Japan. ENGINEER ps-01

I have searched for years for compact pliers with a side cutter and with long and fine enough jaws to manipulate 4mm jump rings. These are, without doubt, the best I've ever used. They are comfortable to hold and the jaws are strong enough to cut and bend the thickest wire I use (1mm). The spring, while other purchasers find this causes a problem with storage as it holds the jaws open, is exactly what you need for jewellery making. I cannot recommend these pliers highly enough.

The quality of these tools is more than adequate, a pleasure to use and a privilege to care for (remember to maintain your tools and if in doubt, contact the company via their website for lubrication advice). They are on the pricy side and mine came with some minor defects. One thing to note about Engineer Co. JP tools, they have rather strict use cases. These are not something you want to abuse, the grind and quality of steel is respectable. Far better in function to the generic Chinese stuff though that is also good in its own right for economic reasons. Take care of them, check out Engineer's wire strippers and crimp tools, nothing else compares! My go-to brand for recommending tools internationally.

Can't get better on Amazon

As with all the Engineer tools I’ve bought, this is very good quality. A point to note is however, if the jaws are forced open wide, the spring can escape.No problem in normal use though.

One of the best I have used, no wobble at hinge and really good at griping tiny edges. I use this to clean up 3d printed plastic and it grips down to 1mm or less with precision.Would give a 5 star if it has a longer nose and a closing mechanism so it does not stay open because of the spring mechanism. I put a wire tie at the handle loop to keep it closed in my tool box.

I've been looking for a decent set of needle nose pliers for months and the ones I've tried have not met my expectations one way or the other, however this set is closer than any others I've tried. While the teeth don't interlock perfectly, the jaws close tight enough that you can still get a good grip on things. I use these for removing supports from flexible 3D prints primarily and they're much better than any others I've tried. The motion is smooth. Only slight downside is that while the handles look "cool", they're quite hard and harsh to hold for extended periods. Would prefer something softer and rounder. Otherwise excellent.

Very well made and great quality

Great purchase, bought to replace a multi tool that I only really used the pliers on. Well worth it. Only slight issue is they are sprung so they are in the open position, which is not ideal for storage / carrying.
