Key Features
Extra-Long ReachThese Knipex needle nose pliers are built to reach deep into crowded assemblies where standard pliers come up short. The long, slim jaws give you better access for gripping, holding, and guiding small parts without tearing everything else apart first. Two Jaw AnglesYou get both a straight and a 45 degree angled extra-long needle nose pliers setup in one pouch. That matters when one job needs a direct approach and the next needs you to work around hoses, brackets, or wiring. Grip Without GuessingMilled grooves, pulling grooves, and a serrated gripping area help the jaws hold round parts like copper pipe, screws, and cable more securely. You get control on delicate work without giving up bite when it counts.
Overview
The Knipex 9K 00 80 128 US 2 Pc XL Long Needle Nose Pliers Set with Keeper Pouch is a two-piece long nose pliers set built for precision gripping and assembly work in hard-to-reach areas. This is a needle nose pliers set designed for gripping, holding, and guiding small parts in tight spaces. Model Number: 9K 00 80 128 US. If you work around wiring, tubing, hardware, or deep machine assemblies, this set gives you the reach and control that standard pliers usually cannot.
Knipex includes two 11 inch tools in this set: one extra-long straight jaw needle nose pliers and one extra-long 45 degree angled needle nose pliers, both packed in a keeper pouch. That combination is the real value here. The straight pliers are the go-to when you have a clear shot into an assembly. The angled pair earns its keep when your hand position is awkward or your line of sight is blocked by surrounding parts. Instead of forcing one tool to do both jobs, you have the right jaw angle ready.
The long slim design is the whole point. These pliers are made for deep reach, with slim half-round tips that can get into narrow spaces to grab, hold, or guide parts without taking surrounding components apart. Knipex also calls out a gripping capacity of up to 2-1/4 inches, which gives the set enough versatility for more than tiny fasteners. It is equally useful for handling small copper pipes, screws, cables, and other round parts that are tough to control with bulkier pliers.
The jaw design is more than just long and narrow. Milled grooves with smooth surfaces help you guide round materials more carefully, while four small pulling grooves in the jaws give you extra purchase when you need to pull on round objects. There is also a serrated gripping area near the base of the jaws for holding round parts more securely. In real use, that means you can switch from delicate positioning to firmer holding without changing tools.
Build quality is what you would expect from Knipex. The pliers are made from special tool steel that is forged and oil-hardened, with a polished finish and black atramentized surface treatment. That matters because a long-reach pliers design only works if the jaws stay aligned and the tool still feels solid under load. Knipex built these to stay slim without feeling flimsy. The non-slip plastic handles keep the grip simple and direct, which is usually what you want on assembly pliers where feel matters.
For jobsite and shop practicality, the keeper pouch is a smart addition. Long nose pliers this length do not fit well into every drawer or bag pocket, and the pouch keeps both tools together so the angled and straight versions do not get separated. If you are setting up a service kit for automotive work, machine maintenance, or bench assembly, that makes the set easier to store and easier to grab.
This set is a strong fit for automotive techs, mechanical trades, maintenance crews, and anyone doing precise assembly work. It also makes sense for serious DIY users who regularly work in cramped spaces and are tired of fighting short pliers. If your work involves reaching past obstructions, guiding hardware into place, or grabbing round materials cleanly, this Knipex long nose pliers set solves a real problem instead of just adding another duplicate tool to the drawer.
Reach Deep Into Tight Assemblies
When parts sit behind other parts, reach matters more than raw size. The extra-long jaws let you get into narrow access points and still keep control of what you are holding.

Pro Tip
Use the straight pliers when you have a clear line into the work and switch to the 45 degree pair when hoses, brackets, or surrounding parts block your hand position. That keeps the jaws aligned with the part and gives you better control instead of twisting the tool to make it fit.
