Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between bent nose and needle nose pliers?
Bent nose pliers have jaws angled about 45°, providing better access to hard-to-reach places without bending your wrist. They are ideal for work in confined spaces aboard ships, such as behind panels or inside machinery.
Are these pliers resistant to saltwater corrosion?
Yes, the pliers are made from chrome vanadium steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, and the handle coating protects exposed metal during storage. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or spray with a light lubricant for best protection.
What wire sizes can the cutting jaws handle?
The cutting edges can handle soft wire up to 3.5 mm (0.14 in) and hardened wire up to 2.3 mm (0.09 in) diameter, making them suitable for general electrical and rigging work.
Does this product meet IMPA 611691 standards?
Yes, this bent nose pliers is designed to meet the IMPA 611691 product code requirements for marine ship chandler supplies, ensuring ship crews receive a reliable and consistent tool for maintenance and repair.
