Ingco Bent Nose Plier 6” HBNP28168 Cr-V with TPR Handle

Our review

This is a 6-inch (160mm) bent nose plier from Ingco, listed under model HBNP28168. The jaws are angled rather than straight, which is the whole point of the tool: it lets you reach into recessed spots and grip or twist where a straight plier would force your wrist into an awkward position. The body is chrome vanadium with a black finish and polish, and the handles are two-colour TPR, a rubberised grip that is easier on the hand during repeated work than bare metal. It arrives packed on a PP hanger, so it suits a pegboard or workshop wall.
It fits someone doing general electrical, automotive or bench work who needs a slim gripping tool for awkward angles, and who wants a rubberised handle without paying tool-truck money. Before buying, check the jaw type and size against the job: at 160mm overall this is a compact plier, so if you need long reach or heavy leverage, a larger straight plier or a long nose version may serve better. Compare the joint construction and handle comfort against other pliers you own, and confirm the bent jaw angle suits the spaces you actually work in. Available on Sokonia.
