Needle nose pliers

[tigerpaul]

I've seen on the Internet somewhere a set of Insulated needle nose pliers. They are different from your normal ones in that they are offset at about 90 degrees. You would hold them like as if pointing a gun, which would make life easier for me when working in live dist boards as my hand would not obstruct my view.

I can't find them the net now, and don't know what their proper name is.

Any ideas fellas?

I think that is what you mean.

Yes mate, they are the ones. But looking at the picture they seem quite small and I think I'd struggle to reach into the back of a busy board with them. They would be ideal if they were longer.

Maybe if the nose jaw length was longer they would open too wide and wouldn't be safe I suppose.

I have a pair at 45 deg would that be any good?
