Water Pump Pliers
Water pump pliers, also known as tongue-and-groove pliers or slip-joint pliers, are a type of adjustable pliers designed for gripping and turning various objects. They are characterized by their long handles and an adjustable pivot point that allows the jaws to be opened to different widths. The jaws typically have serrated surfaces or grooves that provide a secure grip on objects of various sizes.
Water pump pliers are versatile tools commonly used in plumbing, automotive maintenance, and other applications where a strong and adjustable gripping tool is needed. They are especially useful for gripping and turning pipes, nuts, bolts, and other irregularly shaped objects. The design of water pump pliers allows them to adapt to different sizes of objects, making them a practical and handy tool for a variety of tasks.
Wire Stripping Pliers
Wire stripping pliers, also known simply as wire strippers, are hand tools designed for the purpose of removing insulation or outer covering from electrical wires. These pliers typically feature a set of jaws with specially designed edges or blades that can cut through the insulation without damaging the underlying wire. The primary function of wire stripping pliers is to expose the bare conductor for making electrical connections, such as splicing or terminating wires. These tools often include adjustable settings to accommodate different wire sizes, ensuring precise and efficient stripping without causing damage to the conductor.
