The cone shape can be used for precision loop forming of leads or wire. Tronex needle nose pliers feature very fine tips. Each of the two tips is .030” x .030” Also the four inner edges of the jaw are eased to protect leads or wire during forming. Tronex needle nose pliers have flat-faced inner jaws. Made in USA
