Pliers And Cutters - ToolsRUs

There are numerous types of pliers and cutters, and some of them are used for one kind of application. Others enjoy more general, all-purpose use. Pliers may double as cutters or strippers or simply be used to twist, grab, pinch or compress fasteners and other materials. Electricians, plumbers and mechanics frequently use these tools. Like hammers and screwdrivers, pliers are versatile tools that may be used for things other than their intended purpose.

Pliers and cutters are made of steel or some type of alloy steel with other materials such as chromium or vanadium added to make them stronger and resistant to damage from corrosion. Mechanics’ and plumbers’ pliers are usually all steel, while electricians’ pliers feature insulated rubber grips to reduce conductivity. Workmen of all kinds use pliers to twist, cut, pull, grip, strip, bend and straighten. The materials upon which they work include screws, nails, machine elements, pipe, wire, ties of various kinds and more.

By applying lever force, pliers and cutters give you a mechanical advantage over rugged materials. Both kinds of tools feature a simple design with the two handles crossing at the fulcrum or point of pivot, where they become the jaws. The left handle becomes the right jaw and vice versa. The handles are quite a bit longer than the jaws to generate the necessary gripping or cutting force.

Slip joint pliers feature an adjustable pivot point to widen or narrow the grip of the jaws. Use this tool to twist, pull or grip strong materials. Also called dikes or wire cutters, diagonal pliers cut but don't grip. They cut with a wedging rather than a shearing motion thanks to their symmetrical, V-shaped cutting blades. Lineman’s pliers combine a grip joint with cutters, so they are sometimes called combination pliers. Able to fit into tight, cramped spaces, needle-nose pliers are handy in a pinch. Another specialty tool are electrician's pliers with the necessary parts to both cut and strip wire. They often feature a variety of rounded-out sections in their blades to fit around and strip wires of different thicknesses. Other pliers include multiple types of crimp tools used to fastening and pincers.
