combination pliers
Multipurpose gripping tool
Combination pliers are a common hand tool with serrated jaws for gripping, a side cutter for snipping wire, and sometimes a wire stripper notch near the pivot.
The name reflects their multiple functions in one tool.
Standard equipment in most toolboxes: I grabbed the combination pliers to twist the wires together.
