pliers
Hinged jaw tool
Pliers are a hand tool with two handles and pivoting jaws, used for gripping, bending, or cutting.
The jaws may be flat, pointed, or serrated depending on the task: needle-nose pliers, wire-cutting pliers.
The word is typically plural even for a single tool: Hand me those pliers.
