Plier Set

A 3-piece plier set typically refers to a collection of three different types of pliers, each designed for specific tasks. Pliers are hand tools with parallel jaws used for gripping, bending, cutting, or manipulating various materials. The set usually includes a combination of different plier types to provide versatility in handling diverse tasks. Common types found in a 3-piece plier set may include:
  1. Needle-Nose Pliers: These have long, slender jaws with pointed tips, ideal for reaching into tight spaces and gripping small objects.
  2. Diagonal Cutting Pliers (Wire Cutters): These have sharp, angled jaws designed for cutting wires and other thin materials.
  3. Slip-Joint Pliers: These have an adjustable pivot point, allowing the user to adjust the jaw size for different tasks. They are versatile and can be used for gripping and turning objects of various sizes.

Slip Joint Pliers

Slip joint pliers, also known as adjustable pliers or water pump pliers, are a type of hand tool designed for gripping and manipulating objects. They feature a pivot point, often near the center of the tool, with multiple grooves or notches that allow the user to adjust the jaw size. This adjustable feature enables the pliers to accommodate various sizes of objects by sliding the pivot along the grooves, providing versatility in gripping tasks. Slip joint pliers typically have long handles with flat or serrated jaws that can be used for gripping, holding, bending, or turning nuts, bolts, pipes, and other objects. They are commonly used in automotive, plumbing, and general household applications.

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.
