They are the right size for the jobs I needed them for. I think they are a good value for the price. Recommend this product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best of the Best *by C***0 on March 3, 2026* Top of the line soft jaw needle nose pliers. Small enough they can be used for hobby stuff or around the house. Well made and finished. Jaw pads screw in and are replaceable. Watch heat and squeezing hard will ruin the nylon pads. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little pair of pliers *by S***V on March 28, 2025* I appreciate the spring function on many IPS pliers. These line up well and are comfortable to use. Being a slip-joint is a good touch. The black coating should guard well against rust. The pads can be a little slick when dealing with some materials like smooth metal, but a little double-sided sticky tape on them will solve that. They come with one set of replacement pads, but Amazon also sells them separately in packs of 2 pairs. Any play in the joint can be adjusted out with the nut on one side of it, which I like. It doesn't stick out enough to get in the way of anything. ## Frequently Bought Together - Igarashi Plyer IPS SH-165S Soft Touch Slim, 6.5 inches (165 mm), Made in Japan, Tsubame Sanjo - Igarashi IPS PH-165 Non-marring Plastic Jaw Soft Touch Slip Joint Pliers (Japan Import) - IPS PH-200 Non-marring Plastic Jaw Soft Touch Slip Joint Pliers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/21164231-ips-pliers-sh-165s-soft-touch-slim-combination-pliers-internal](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/21164231-ips-pliers-sh-165s-soft-touch-slim-combination-pliers-internal) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
