Also called needle-nosed or snipe-nosed pliers, long-nosed pliers have long, tapering flat and serrated jaws for use in narrow spaces. Many also have side cutters.

Circlip pliers make circlip removal easy. Straight tipped pliers for inside circlips, capacity 8-25mm, are generally suitable. There are dual-purpose tools for inside or outside clips, with interchangeable tips.
