pair of pincers
Two-jawed metal grip
A pair of pincers is a gripping tool with two hinged arms that squeeze together, used for pulling nails, cutting wire, or grasping objects.
Like scissors or pliers, the tool is grammatically plural—a pair of pincers—though a single implement.
Pincers also describes the claw-like appendages of crabs and lobsters.
