What are Long nose pliers?

Long nose pliers are pliers with long tapered jaws but not necessarily pointed. Typically, the jaws are serrated, sturdy, and longer than those of linesman pliers.

In fact, long nose pliers are the best alternative to linesman pliers when working in tight spaces. They have fairly strong jaws and hardened cutters. You can use them to firmly grip objects that are in deep areas that you cannot access with other regular pliers.

There is no predefined length for the jaws of long nose pliers but they definitely have to be longer than those linesman or combinational pliers. The jaws must also be narrow and tapered. Some long-nosed pliers have integrated cutters for cutting soft wires and other materials such as cable ties.

Long nose pliers are electricians’ favorite type of pliers. They use them to manipulate, loop, and grip wires inside electrical sockets. Some electricians even use the integrated cutters on long nose pliers cut electrical wires and strip off insulation material.
