Needle-nose pliers Wiha Z 36 1 04

Needle-nose pliers Wiha Z 36 1 04 are precision pliers made from C45 special tool steel, hardened and tempered for durability. The tool follows DIN ISO 9655 and IEC 61340-5-1 standards and has an angled head at 45° with fine, semi‑circular tips and smooth gripping surfaces. An opening spring assists rapid operation and the tool's surface resistance is specified between 10^6 and 10^9 ohms. With an overall length of 120 mm and a weight of 60 g, these pliers are compact and suitable for work in confined spaces.

Advantages

The hardened and tempered C45 steel construction provides wear resistance and long service life. Fine semi‑circular tips and smooth gripping surfaces enable precise gripping and bending of small parts. The 45° angled head improves access in tight or awkward positions. An integrated opening spring speeds up repetitive tasks, and the specified surface resistance supports use in electrostatic-sensitive environments that comply with IEC 61340-5-1.

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handle and position the fine semi‑circular tips around the component to be gripped or bent. Use controlled pressure to avoid deforming delicate parts. The 45° angled head helps reach components in tight spaces; operate the opening spring for faster repetitive movements. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Recommendations

Do not apply excessive force that exceeds the tool’s intended use; avoid cutting hardened wire unless the pliers are specified for cutting. For ESD‑sensitive work, ensure the workspace and other tools comply with IEC 61340-5-1 to maintain electrostatic protection.
