Overview
Weighing 1.4 pounds, the Irwin 14-6LN is a 6 inch long nose plier from Irwin's numbered hand tool line, with jaws tapered for reaching into tight spaces and handling small parts or wire.
Irwin lists only weight for this item, so jaw material, cutting edge and handle grip are not confirmed in the data. The 14-6LN model number places it in Irwin's older numbered hand tool catalog rather than a newer named series. Buyers relying on catalog fit should confirm dimensions against their existing Irwin set before ordering.
- 6 inch long nose plier
- 1.4 pound weight
- Irwin numbered tool line
- Tapered jaw for tight-space reach
Who it's for
Suited to electricians, jewelry or electronics hobbyists, and anyone assembling small parts where a wide-jaw plier will not fit. Not the choice for heavy bending or cutting work that needs more leverage.
Pros and cons
- Light enough for extended precision work
- Long nose jaws reach into tight spaces
- Compact 6 inch size for detail tasks
- No listed jaw material or cutting edge spec
- Not built for heavy bending or cutting
Performance notes
At 1.4 pounds the 14-6LN is light enough for extended one-handed use. The long nose profile trades gripping surface for reach, so it favors precision tasks over brute leverage.
