Get a grip
One thing that compromises standard needle nose pliers when working in tight spaces is that your hand takes up most of the space. These extended pliers (34cm in total length) feature a dual pivot system which gives much increased grip and the ability to work in very confined areas. They are extremely narrow with flush-fitting pins and serrated tips for extra purchase, with comfortable rubber handles for maximum grip and appear to be very well made. Motorcycles tend to have plenty of hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, so these will come in very handy for the tricky stuff. The Straight Double-X Pliers are distributed by GearWrench, which has a comprehensive range of innovative workshop tools. RRP is $42.80 and for more information and the details of your nearest retailer see www.gearwrench.com.au
