Product Information
Full details
The Facom 185.34L Extra Long Nose Pliers are precision tools designed for mechanics, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work in deep, narrow, or obstructed spaces. Featuring a 340mm reach and a double-lever mechanism, these pliers provide exceptional leverage and grip for small fasteners or components where standard tools fail to reach; however, the specialized slim profile means they are intended for reaching and gripping rather than heavy-duty prying or cutting tasks.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use these for heavy-duty cutting?
No, these pliers are designed for gripping and reaching. Using them for heavy-duty cutting may damage the jaw alignment.
What is the primary benefit of the double-lever mechanism?
It provides a higher gripping force with less hand effort, which is essential when working with one hand in tight spaces.
Are the handles electrically insulated?
The ergonomic sheaths provide comfort, but they are not certified for electrical insulation. Do not use on live circuits.
How do I prevent the finish from rusting?
Keep the tool clean and dry after use. The polished finish is corrosion-resistant, but wiping off chemical residues helps preserve it.
Can the built-in tube clamp handle large pipes?
No, the tube clamp is designed for small-diameter items and fasteners consistent with the scale of long-nose pliers.
Troubleshooting
Jaws feel stiff or difficult to open
Apply a small amount of machine oil to the pivot point and cycle the handles several times to distribute the lubricant.
Grip is slipping on small fasteners
Ensure the serrated surface is clean of debris or grease. If the surface is worn, check if the fastener size is within the intended capacity of the pliers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extended reach for deep-access applications
- High-leverage design makes single-handed use easy
- Ergonomic handles reduce strain during operation
- Corrosion-resistant finish ensures long-term durability
- Compact nose design fits into tight, restricted spaces
Cons
- Length makes them less portable than standard pliers
- Not designed for heavy-duty prying or leverage tasks
- May require more clearance for the handle swing due to tool size
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers do not require any specialized setup—they are ready to use out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the tool:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the jaws and handles with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove debris, grease, or oil.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment to maintain the polished finish and prevent moisture buildup.
- Inspection: Periodically check the pivot point of the double-lever mechanism. If movement becomes stiff, apply a drop of light machine oil to the hinge and work it in.
- Handling: Avoid using these pliers for prying or high-torque twisting tasks, as this can damage the fine alignment of the long, slim jaws.
