Structure of a pair of pliers

In your daily job, it is often a matter of finding the right pliers for the tasks at hand. To make the right choice, it is worth taking a look at the layout of pliers in general and the distinct design of the individual elements.

With this knowledge, the decision for a suitable model is a lot easier. Each pair of pliers consists of at least three parts: the jaws, the joint and the handles. The jaws and joint together are also called the head.
