Nonconductive Long-Nose Pliers

Made entirely of plastic, these pliers eliminate the potential for an arc flash or short circuit that can occur when using conventional insulated tools with metal components. Tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505, they also protect against accidental contact with live electrical circuits. Also known as needle-nose and chain-nose pliers, use the long jaws to grip, bend, and twist wire and other small workpieces.
