Are pliers a deadly weapon

Answer 1

Yes, ANYTHING, REGARDLESS OF ITS "NORMAL " USAGE, can be considered a deadly weapon when wielded and used as a weapon, or striking, or stabbing, instrument.

Anything that you can poke into a person, throw or shoot out of a gun, fill with poison, sharpen to an edge, use to conduct electricity, use to interfere with safety equipment, or use as a bribe for nasty folks can be employed to harm somebody else.

Murder mysteries would be dull indeed if novel uses for large cash payments, frozen legs of lamb, carrots, peanuts, shrimp, antifreeze, earrings , stiletto heels, panty hose, postage stamps and such could not be imagined.
