ESD-safe needle nose pliers Xcelite 127 mm with serrated jaws and a fine tip - Weller NN542N

When populating or reworking a board, the head of the pliers decides whether a component can be reached at all. The NN542N carries a 30.2 mm long head, 11.1 mm wide, with serrated jaws, and measures 127 mm overall.

Key benefits

• Serrated gripping faces hold tinned leads and smooth small parts without slipping.
• Head width 11.1 mm and head thickness 7.1 mm fit between closely spaced components.
• Head length 30.2 mm at 127 mm overall keeps the tool short and the force transfer direct.
• Cushioned handles reduce hand load during longer assembly runs.
• Listed by the manufacturer as ESD safe and therefore suited to workstations inside an EPA.
