The barbed wire was invented by Joseph Glidden. The barbed wire was invented by Joseph Glidden.
Mainly for holding on to stuff that couldn't be held by hand.
Wire rope was invented by a German named Wilhelm Albert in the years between 1831 and 1834
Johann Vaaler invented the wire paper clips
A pair of pliers for cutting wire.
Side cutters are pliers i haven't seen in the stores for a while. They had flat jaws and a small wire cutter on one side. A few of them were constructed so the jaws remained parallel. I have one pair dating from 1942 when they were made originally for the USAAF.
Side-cutters or diagonal cutting pliers should be used to cut wires, cables, and other materials where precision cuts are required. They have a cutting edge that is angled to provide a clean cut close to the surface.
"I used the pliers to cut the wire"

Diagonal pliers (alos called wire cutters or diagonal-cutting pliers) are pliers intended for the cutting of wire (they are generally not used to grab or turn anything). They are sometimes called side cutting pliers or side cutters, although these terms are shared by other pliers designs, such as lineman's pliers, and may lead to confusion. The plane defined by the cutting edges of the jaws intersects the joint rivet at an angle or "on a diagonal", hence the name. Instead of using a shearing action as with scissors, they cut by indenting and wedging the wire apart. The jaw edges are ground to a symmetrical "V" shape; thus the two jaws can be visualized to form the letter "X", as seen end-on when fully occluded. The pliers are made of tempered steel and inductive heating and quenching are often used to selectively harden the jaws.
Wire cutter. It's two words as wirecutter may not be in the dictionary.
They are for cutting wire.
If they are real 'side cutters' then they have flat jaws for gripping, and a wire cutter on one side. You don't see these around much any more. People have taken to calling 'diagonal wire cutters' , side cutters now.
They are for stripping the insulation off electrical wire.
The most common way of making an electrical connection is with a device called a wire nut. Solid wire connections should be twisted together with a pair of pliers before installing the wire nut to hold the splice tight. Twisting stranded wire together with a pair of pliers does not allow the wire nut to grip the wires as tight as it should. Stranded wire should be held together side by side (in parallel) and let the wire nut twist the wires together to make a solid splice connection.
