Pliers FAQ
What are pliers?
Pliers are a hand tool designed to hold or grip small objects by exerting more force than your standard hand grip. Pliers as a tool are commonly used to hold materials firmly in place, though they can also be used to cut, bend, crimp and strip, among other things.
Most pliers are made from a mix of steel alloys with additives for extra strength and to prevent corrosion, along with rubber or plastic handles for comfort and to act as an insulator so electrical currents cannot pass through them. This makes them a staple for safe electrical work.
The design of your pliers can change depending on the type of job. For example, multigrip pliers can be used to clamp pipes or rods of different shapes or to tighten or loosen fittings. A pair of end cutting pliers, with their jaw-like clamps, are used to cut through bolts and nails, to remove electrical staples or when fabricating metals.
