What are "bent-nose pliers"?
Bent-nose pliers are a type of pliers with jaws that are angled or bent, allowing for better access to tight or difficult-to-reach spaces. The bend in the jaws helps with gripping, bending, or twisting objects at an angle, making them ideal for tasks that require precision, such as working with small parts, jewelry making, or electrical work. These pliers provide added control and maneuverability in areas where a straight pair of pliers would be too large or difficult to use. Bent-nose pliers often have a spring mechanism for easier handling and are commonly used in both professional and DIY projects.
