Plier

Description of pliers

Pliers are hand tools used to grip, bend, cut, and shape objects. They come in many shapes and sizes and can be used for a variety of tasks in the home, workshop, or garage. Pliers consist of two arms hinged together at one end, with a jaw located at the other end. They are usually made of stainless steel, though other materials such as plastic may also be used. The jaws of the pliers are designed to fit around an object and hold it in place. This allows the user to manipulate the object with ease. Pliers can be used for everything from twisting wires to cutting sheet metal and more.

Different types of pliers

Needle nose pliers are slim-shaped pliers that are great for reaching into tight areas and grasping small items. They have long, tapered jaws that come to a point, making them ideal for use on small components such as wires or jewelry. Slip joint pliers are adjustable pliers that can be opened and closed to fit the size of your material. These pliers have a large opening at the base of the jaw that allows you to easily adjust the size of the opening. Slip joint pliers are often used for gripping and holding small objects. Channel lock pliers are made from sturdy materials like high-carbon steel. Locking pliers can be locked into position through over-center cam action.

Hose clamp pliers are used to fasten or remove a hose clamp from a pipe. Multi pliers are pliers sets that come with several other tools embedded in them. They resemble pen knives in terms of their versatility. Snap ring pliers install and remove snap rings and have a flattened or sharpened end. Side cutters are named so because of the way the cutting edges of the jaws are set at an angle.
