Bent Nose Pliers
Wheeler-Rex 987 is a hand tool designed for gripping and positioning in confined spaces. The bent nose profile improves reach around obstructions where straight pliers cannot fit. It is supplied new and intended for general mechanical and maintenance tasks.
Mechanics needing angled access
Technicians working on crowded assemblies benefit from the offset jaws. Users who require insulated handles or a cutting function should look at other models because this tool lacks those features.
1/2 in drive, 1-1/2 in socket
The tool combines a 1/2 in drive with a 1-1/2 in SAE socket that has six points and a bolt clearance of 5 in. It is made from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish and is not impact rated.
