IDEAL-TEK ES6023.CR.BG.ITU Ergo-tek Slim HP Pliers 6023 Long Snipe Nose Smooth
IDEAL-TEK ES6023.CR.BG.ITU Ergo-tek Slim HP Pliers 6023 Long Snipe Nose Smooth
The Ideal-tek ES6023.CR.BG.ITU high precision long snipe nose pliers combine extended jaws with smooth gripping surfaces for controlled handling where access is limited. Their 30 mm jaw length helps reach the workpiece, while the smooth jaws help prevent scratches during holding. ESD Ergo-tek Slim handles provide a secure grip for work around electrostatic-discharge-sensitive components.
Best Uses / Applications
Consider these pliers for precision electronics assembly, PCB repair, laboratory work and small-part positioning where an extended, narrow gripping tool is useful. Smooth jaws are particularly useful when avoiding serration marks matters. Use controlled gripping pressure appropriate to the workpiece; smooth jaws do not guarantee that every surface will remain unmarked.

Choosing a Gripping Tool
| Requirement | Selection guidance |
|---|---|
| Long reach with smooth gripping faces | ES6023 offers a 30 mm long snipe nose and smooth jaws. |
| Avoiding serration impressions | Choose smooth jaws and use only the pressure needed to hold the part. |
| Aggressive mechanical grip | Consider a serrated-jaw tool when surface marking is acceptable. |
| Cutting wire or leads | Select a dedicated cutter with a verified capacity; no cutting capacity is specified for this plier. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the jaws smooth or serrated?
The ES6023 has smooth jaws. Ideal-tek describes this surface as helping prevent scratches while holding.
Is this model ESD safe?
Yes. Ideal-tek identifies the ES6023.CR.BG as ESD safe and equips it with ESD Ergo-tek Slim handles. ESD-safe handles are not a claim of electrical insulation for live-circuit work.
How long are the pliers and jaws?
Overall length is 140 mm (5.512 in), with a head/jaw length of 30 mm (1.181 in).
What are the body and handles made from?
The body is 100Cr6 high carbon-chromium low alloy steel with a sandblasted finish. The Ergo-tek Slim handles use a thermoplastic elastomer and polypropylene compound.
How hard are the jaws?
Ideal-tek specifies a jaw hardness of 45 HRC. This is a hardness specification, not a wire-cutting capacity.
Where are these pliers manufactured?
The manufacturer's product datasheet lists Italy as the country of manufacture.
