Pipe Grips- These are round openings in the jaws of the pliers and are used to grip and hold round objects such as sizeable pipes and metals.
Fulcrum- Also known as the pivot. It is the point where the jaws and the handle join. The Fulcrum allows/creates a force impact on the jaws when performing a certain task.
Handles- This is the hand gripping surface where an individual holds the tool. To move the nose and jaws of the pliers, you have to squeeze the handle. Different pliers have different handle covers such as plastic covers, electrical proof insulated handles, ergonomic handles and solid metal handles.

Needle-nose pliers (also known as pointy-nose pliers, long-nose pliers, pinch-nose pliers or snipe-nose pliers) are both cutting and holding pliers used by artisans, jewellery designers, electricians, network engineers and other tradesmen to bend, re-position and snip wire.
