What is a pair of pliers and what is it used for?
Pliers are two pieces of steel connected near the centre by a pivot. The same principle as scissors, but with much sturdier and different handle and blades. The handle parts of pliers are thick and straight and meant to be encompassed by the whole hand, so as to exert pressure on them. There are many different 'blades', the most common being two short, strong flat jaws to grip items. There can be long thin jaws , as in 'Long -nose pliers', and ones with jaws designed to hold specific objects. Some pliers have a 'slip-jaw' pivot, that allows them to open up to grip larger objects. Some others, such as the famous 'Channel -Lock' pliers can open up to a range of specific settings.

What are diagonal cutting pliers?
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.
