ENGINEER PS-03 Precision Mini Long Nose Pliers Needle Tip 141mm, ESD Safe

Fantastic. Better than Knipex's version which has a garbage handle design and is slippery and has much worse grabbing power. Knipex do have a more stubby one which is good but that's over 50 or 60 bucks. That's the angled one in the second photo. And this engineer still has a much better spring. The Knipex spring doesn't push it enough and also is not removable like the engineer. Unfortunately engineer don't make an angled jaw one currently. Not that I could find. Absolutely grab one of these. Great handle. Great jaws. Great price. Note the chain is my own addition. I like it to not open too much for my uses. I have different pliers for larger things. The chain keeps it very tight and controlled. Can't even do that with the 50 dollar Knipex.

Amazing pliers. Comfortable, chunky handgrip, and feels solid and durable too–easy to use with larger hands. These pliers feature extremely precise and strong jaws. I’ve attached a photo of them holding a dime from the ridge, a popular tool truck demo for their small precision pliers. I would compare the quality of this tool to knipex or snap-on, but for a much better value. Being made in Japan with Japanese steel also prevents quality control issues all too common with some *other* imported tools. Great value. Amazing little tool for precision electronics or other small components. Already recommended to all my friends in the industry. 11/10.

Really “tight” action, well functioning and high quality pliers for a great price! So recommend them!

Want to impress your work buddies with a sleeper tool brand? Boom, Engineer. Also branded as Vamplier sometimes (same tools). I like to call them Knipex of the East, because that's the best comparison to the quality on display here. I use these mostly for working with very small electrical parts and they are a serious tool. The jaws have amazing alignment and are dead flat with each other at the tip. If you're looking for pliers this size, this will absolutely do the job. Full send. I've got a bunch of their tools and they are all an amazing value and Japanese made.

exactly as pictured and described. shipped quickly and well packaged. high quality materials and solid construction. pleased with my purchase but i did take 1 star off for what i think could have been done better... the spring used could have been more robust and made of better gauge material.

First and foremost these ENGINEER Compact Precision Compact Long Nose Needle tip Pliers are a fine example of quality Japanese manufacturing, and indeed are the finest precision needle nose pliers I have ever used in the 40 years I’ve been using them for my current purpose. Though my use may be somewhat unconventional, as I am a quadriplegic with very limited hand strength and finger dexterity. I use these pliers mostly as tweezers as I cannot squeeze or otherwise manipulate conventional tweezers. And I can say without reservation that they do a great job at grabbing a hold of even the finest of hairs. So in my opinion that makes them quite precise. The spring offers just enough tension as to allow me to easily, repeatedly squeeze without fatiguing my hand, yet have enough stored energy to assist in releasing my grip and the spring is holding up after a full year’s use. If and when I need another pair of needle nose pliers, they will definitely be ENGINEER’s.

I bought these and another suspiciously similar brand by Vamplier. I couldn’t decide and couldn’t tell which was better and here’s the results. They’re almost absolutely identical. SAME EXACT grips… design, imprints and size. Same feel. Same length on the jaws. But NOT the same width. The engineer were slightly thinner/pointier and more precise. Possibly even a little bit smoother in the jaw texture. So basically the Engineer are the same thing as vamplier without the novelty branding.. but slightly better made. AND $8 or so cheaper. Along side that.. the Vampliers spring mechanism opened/rested open farther to the point of being awkward vs the Engineer and the grips on the Vamps were misaligned. One of the handles were twisted and I had to sort of break the glue free to twist it back in place. They weren’t symmetrical to eachother. Lastly the Vamplier jaws wouldn’t come together completely without slight extra pressure for the last millimeter or two. The top corner of the handles would meet and touch JUST before the Jaws completely closed. You could apply slight pressure and get them to come together but.. I thought that was a little flawed for a $30 pair of pliers. The engineer were completely parallel as well and didn’t allow any light through them, the Vampliers failed that test. Not by much but they’re definitely not as perfectly aligned. All in all if you don’t mind the slightly thicker tips, or the possible handle flaw and just want the novelty of the Vamplier brand name.. they work fine. But the Engineer are definitely made better, and exactly the same with a more precise/slimmer/pointier jaw. Not to mention cheaper. Needless to say I’m sending the Vampliers back where they came from. Engineer is the superior brand even though it’s cheaper. You’re simply paying for the novelty in the Vamplier name.

I can only say that I am delighted with the product. In a world where there are so many low quality things made in China, it is wonderful to have found these Japanese made pliers. Both the finish and the materials are of excellent quality, the jaws, cutting areas and gripping areas are well made, the jaws and tips are well aligned and close perfectly. The various metal parts fit together perfectly, there is not that feeling of wear and loss of material in the movement areas that is so typical of cheap, low quality tools. The only caveat I could give is that the brand offers 2 different sizes for their tools, so it's a good idea to make sure you choose the right one for your needs, also, if you have large hands, you may find the small size tool difficult to use.

Buena herramienta de precisión para tener a mano, la uso para desmontar IC's y doblar pines.

Very useful and heavy duty tool. Highly recommended

Le produit est d'une excellente facture et bien fini. Tient bien en main. Seul inconvénient est qu'il reste ouvert au repos. Il faut mettre un petit capuchon (fourni) pour le ranger fermé.

I like the finish, the grips, almost everything, I'm just not sure if those jaws shouldn't close more tightly (I'm giving them a good squeeze in the photo. Maybe I just don't understand plier design. Also, if you'd like to store them closed, it's really easy to DIY something thanks to the grip eyelets.

Excellent quality. Useful tool, sturdier than tweezers but smaller and thinner than most long nose pliers. Flat gripping area reduces chance to damage parts or leave prints on them.
