pliers

Pliers are a handheld mechanical tool used to grip, hold, twist, or cut objects. They consist of two metal arms joined at a fulcrum, allowing you to apply force to manipulate materials like wires or small metal parts. The gripping surfaces often have textured jaws to improve grip, while some types include cutting edges for snipping wires. Pliers are versatile and essential in electrical work, plumbing, and general repairs, providing leverage and control to perform tasks that require precision and strength.
