Clarke CHT852 3 Piece Long Reach Plier Set
Need to keep a grip with those hard to reach and fiddly jobs, this Clarke long nose
plier set will help.
Ever had to pull apart a wiring connecting block buried deep between frame and engine, or remove or replace a fuel/breather hose with the fuel tank being a complete pain to support, or rescue a dropped fastener that can't be reached? If your answer is yes, chances are you’ve experienced the benefit of owning a set of long nose pliers. If not, read on.
If truth be known, any job that requires the need to use pliers, nine times out of ten I’ll reach out for the long nose pliers rather than stubby, traditional flat nose pliers. Why bend to pull out a wheel spindle R-clip when you can reach down and grab it with long nose pliers? Just think of them as an extension of your arm and you’ll get what I’m saying. One pair of straight long nose pliers is probably all you need but believe me when I say angled nose versions are also God-sent equivalents.
From pro techs to man cave dwellers, the Clarke CHT852 3 Piece Long Reach Plier Set is ideal. The long reach set (270mm length avg.) consists of one pair of straight pliers, 20° shallow angle pliers and 45° pliers. All three pliers are durable drop forged steel, polished to a smooth finish. Soft grip handle covers aid a firm, comfortable grip, which is handy for those oily/sweaty hand moments. Spring steel tangs in the handle centres reduce the need for using a spare finger to open the jaws when releasing whatever’s being gripped. Awkward nut positioning, petrol clips and pipes maybe even teeth if money’s a bit tight! No, I’m joking. Or am I?
To do a specified job is one thing, to feel good in hand with the promise of a long working life is another consideration to think about. £27.59 isn’t salty for a decent long nose plier set like these Clarke items. Needless to say, Machine Mart carries other options to suit any depth of pocket. But right now, we’ll stick with these beauties.
