Are you looking for a tool that combines both clamping and cutting functions? Opt for a universal plier, a mechanical device that can offer various functionalities. A universal plier can indeed be used as a flat plier to clamp two objects, as a cutting plier to cut wires and small nails, as a clamping plier to temporarily hold a cable or a tube, and as a pincer to remove staples and nails.
Universal pliers generally have cutters for splitting nails and easily cutting all types of wires such as piano wires and soft wires. Among the variants of universal pliers, we can mention, among others, the insulated universal plier for electricians, ideal for cutting relatively small cables. Besides the knurled jaws designed to effectively hold flat materials, this type of plier has arms fitted with an insulating sheath to offer the user maximum safety. There are universal pliers with bi-component handles, known to be particularly ergonomic and comfortable. These universal pliers can be combined with other tools like long nose pliers, diagonal cutting pliers, and multi-grip pliers to form a single multifunction plier. Generally, 6-in-1 or 10-in-1 multifunction pliers are available, combining in one tool 6 to 10 different functions, which will fit perfectly in your pockets. Just like the vise grip pliers or precision pliers, these innovative and high-performance multifunction pliers are true solutions to small problems that can arise in the car, while camping or at home.
