Types of Pliers

There are a huge variety of pliers designed to do a huge variety of jobs:

• Needle nose pliers have long, narrow jaws that can reach into tight places.

• Snap ring pliers have small, pointed ends that engage the holes in snap rings, allowing you to squeeze or expand them into or out of position.

• Slip-joint pliers have adjustable pivot points, allowing you to expand or tighten your grip on various materials.

• Electrical disconnect pliers are designed to pull the tabs on electrical connectors, then give you control while removing them without damage.

When buying a set of pliers, it’s important to consider the task at hand, as using the wrong pliers for the job can damage the pliers or the work piece. Also, you’ll want to consider ergonomics when choosing a pair of pliers—they must be comfortable to hold so you can exert the force required to grip, manipulate, or cut the work piece. Choosing handles with non-slip grips allows you to maintain control over the pliers, as well as prevent injury if your hand should slip.
