Any task can be completed easily and efficiently with the right tool. Some bolts and wiring are in hard to reach places and require a tool with a long reach. Duckbill pliers get their name from the unique jaws. The jaws of the pliers look like a duck's bill. They are most often used by jewelers, weavers and electricians.
The long jaws on duckbill pliers make reaching intricate parts simpler than using standard pliers. The handles are reinforced for better gripping and leverage if needed.
The long and serrated ends of the pliers provide easy reach and a good grip when needed. Electricians use the pliers for reaching and pulling necessary wires. Jewelers make good use of the pliers by pulling precious stones from a ring or performing repairs on a broken clasp. The jaws can also be purchased without a serrated end for more intricate and delicate work.
The handles are long and reinforced for better torque when needed. The handles are made long to assist in reaching tough to reach wires or screws. The handles are also available with a nonslip grip for handling work that requires more torque or a better grip.
Duckbill pliers can be purchased at any tool shop. Duckbill pliers can also be found at many hobby or specialty stores. Be sure to explain to the store associate what type of work the pliers will be used for so they can direct you to the proper size and type of pliers.
