ABSTRACT:
A plier-type tool having opposed jaw members and elongated handle portions is provided with a retractable wedge member for removing knitting machine needles which have broken butt portions. The wedge member is formed at the outwardly protruding end of a spring-loaded shaft member which is slidably mounted on the plier tool. The wedge member tip portion forces the needle butt from within the needle slot and allows the plier tool to move inward to grasp the broken butt between the opposed jaws for withdrawal of the needle completely from the needle slot.
