Pliers

Pliers grip fasteners and building materials in multiple applications. Multi-tools have several tools in a compact form. Locking pliers grip parts securely, allowing users to rotate the tool without slipping or regripping the part. Linemans pliers generally cut harder wire, such as piano wire, than other wire-cutting pliers. Slip joint and tongue and groove pliers have a slip joint that keeps jaws parallel to provide a large gripping surface when working on large workpieces. Long-nosed and needle-nose pliers grip and cut wire and have a smaller tip, which allows users to view workpieces when doing small or delicate work.
