Special purpose pliers

Fig. 20 Common Pliers

Breaker-grozier pliers

• Wire-stripping pliers - cuts and removes insulation on electrical wire while leaving the wire intact

• Fencing tools - pliers that include a hammer, wire cutter and nail puller on one tool

• Retaining-ring or circlip pliers, which are used for fixing or loosening retaining rings

• Nail-pulling pliers - an adaptation of the end nipper used for cutting wire; the jaws may be asymmetric, allowing the nail to be pulled out with a rocking motion on the surface in which it is imbedded.

• Glass-breaking/grozz pliers (breaker-grozier pliers).

Adjustable pliers

• Slip joint pliers, which are similar to combination pliers but whose pivot can be slipped between two holes when the jaws are fully open to change their size

• Groove-joint or tongue-and-groove pliers, occasionally called water-pump pliers, also referred to by the name of a well-known manufacturer, such as Channellock, with adjustable jaw sizes, that are designed to grip various sizes of round, hexagon, flat or similarly shaped objects

Cutting pliers

• Combination pliers or lineman's pliers

• Diagonal pliers (wire cutters, side-cutting pliers or side cutters)

• Pinching pliers (end-nippers)

• Needle-nose pliers - designed for gripping, but typically incorporate a cutter for 'one-tool' convenience.

Crimping pliers

• For crimping electrical terminals and connectors (solderless connections)

• For crimping metal rings or tags on livestock

• For crimping metal security seals on cargo carriers

• For crimping an impression on a document - as in a notary's seal

• For crimping laboratory vials

• For crimping bottles with sprayer tops, such as perfume bottles

• For crimping "crimping beads" used in jewelry making

Rotational pliers

• developed by NASA engineers to enable an astronaut to turn a nut in zero gravity. The clamping motion of the hand is converted to rotational motion to drive a socket wrench

Translate into Ukrainian.

A caliper (British spelling also calliper) is a device used to measure the distance between two symmetrically opposing sides. A caliper can be as simple as a compass with inward or outward-facing points. The tips of the caliper are adjusted to fit across the points to be measured, the caliper is then removed and the distance read by measuring between the tips with a measuring tool, such as a ruler.
