Which tool is designed to grip small objects and reach into tight spaces?

  1. Locking pliers

  2. Lineman's pliers

  3. Needle nose pliers

  4. Hammer

The correct answer is: Needle nose pliers

Needle nose pliers are specifically designed for gripping small objects and reaching into tight spaces due to their long, slender jaws. This design allows users to manipulate small items or work in confined areas where other plier types would struggle to fit. They are particularly useful in electrical work or when working with delicate components, as the fine tips can grasp small wires or connectors without damaging them. Their versatility in accessing hard-to-reach areas makes them an essential tool for various tasks that require precision and control.
