Needle-nose pliers Bosch 1 600 A01 TH8 Jaw length 20 cm

The Bosch 1 600 A01 TH8 needle-nose pliers provide long, narrow jaws with a 20 cm jaw length and a slim profile designed for access into tight spaces. Manufactured from chromium-vanadium steel, these needle-nose pliers combine strength and wear resistance with a balanced weight of approximately 201 g, supporting precision handling during electrical or mechanical tasks. The pliers feature ergonomic handles for controlled grip and slender tips for fine manipulation and component retrieval.

Advantages

These needle-nose pliers offer a long reach and narrow tip geometry that facilitate work in confined or hard-to-reach areas. The chromium-vanadium steel construction increases durability and edge retention while resisting deformation under normal working loads. The tool’s moderate weight contributes to comfortable, sustained use without excessive fatigue. The ergonomic handle shape supports a secure grip and improved control for precision tasks.

Suitable for

• Bending and shaping small wires in electrical installations
• Gripping and positioning small components in mechanical assemblies
• Reaching into narrow gaps to retrieve pins, clips or fasteners
• Precision tasks in electronics repair and assembly

Key specifications

• Jaw length: 20 cm
• Material: chromium-vanadium steel
• Weight: approximately 201 g
• Tool type: needle-nose pliers with slim tips
• Handle: ergonomic, non-slip profile

How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles with a comfortable grip, aligning the slim tips to the target component. Use the narrow jaws to grasp, bend or retrieve small parts, applying steady pressure appropriate to the material being worked on. For wire bending and forming, position the wire close to the tip for fine control or further back along the jaw for larger bends. When using the pliers near live electrical circuits, ensure power is disconnected and appropriate insulated tools are used.

Recommendations

Inspect the pliers periodically for wear, clean after use and apply light lubrication to the pivot if stiffness appears. Use the tool within its mechanical limits; avoid cutting hardened wire or using the pliers as a hammer or pry bar to prevent damage. Store in a dry place to minimise corrosion.
