Professional-grade 8-inch long nose pliers with Talon Grip technology featuring 57% increased pulling power, engineered for safe tethering at heights with machined teeth and cushion grips for superior control and durability.
The Tools@Height 8" Talon Grip™ Long Nose Pliers with Cutter in red is a premium professional-grade hand tool engineered specifically for work at heights and elevated environments. This innovative plier features Snap-on's exclusive Tools@Height System with engineered attachment points that don't interfere with tool functionality, allowing secure tethering with its own lanyard to minimize tool exchanges and significantly reduce the risk of dangerous drops. The tool is manufactured from special cold forged steel with higher alloy content, ensuring exceptional durability and strength for demanding industrial applications.
Designed with precision and performance in mind, these long nose pliers feature perfectly aligned jaw tips with machined rather than stamped teeth for superior gripping strength and positive control. The revolutionary Talon Grip™ technology provides up to 57% increase in pulling power through a relocated joint, optimized handle shape, and diamond-serrated jaws. The machined, hardened teeth are sharp and strong like file teeth, while ramped tips offer 26% stronger jaw tips for better accessibility. These pliers are rated to cut .049" diameter music wire, making them suitable for a wide variety of cutting and gripping tasks.
Comfort and control are paramount in this design, featuring a longer contoured handle with new joint location that provides higher leverage and increased comfort during extended use. The rounded jaw edges minimize wire nicks when making loops or bends, and cushion grips provide comfort, control and power. With an overall length of 8 inches, 2-1/4 inch jaw length, and weighing just 0.49 pounds, this tool offers the perfect balance of reach and maneuverability for professional technicians and maintenance professionals working in aviation, aerospace, military, defense, oil and gas, power generation, and general industrial applications.
