1 Basic pliers

Basic pliers are the most common and versatile type of pliers. They consist of two metal jaws, a pivot point, and two handles. Basic pliers can be used for gripping, twisting, cutting, and bending wires, bolts, nuts, and other small parts. Some examples of basic pliers are slip-joint pliers, which have adjustable jaws; diagonal pliers, which have sharp edges for cutting; and needle-nose pliers, which have long and narrow jaws for reaching tight spaces.

O alicate básico também conhecido como alicate universal, é o mais usado no dia a dia, sendo usado para cortes e apertos, muito versátil e relativamente barato, se comparado com os de aplica??es especiais.

2 Locking pliers

Locking pliers are also known as vise-grips or mole grips. They are designed to lock onto a part and hold it firmly in place without applying constant pressure on the handles. Locking pliers can be used for clamping, turning, holding, and removing stubborn or damaged parts. Some examples of locking pliers are curved-jaw pliers, which have serrated jaws for gripping round or irregular shapes; straight-jaw pliers, which have flat jaws for gripping flat or square shapes; and long-nose pliers, which have pointed jaws for gripping narrow or hard-to-reach parts.

excellent grip and stable, little flexibility in its use. It's the one I use the least. Obviously it's from a subjective point of view

3 Specialty pliers

Specialty pliers are pliers that have specific features or functions for certain types of projects or tasks. They are usually more expensive and less versatile than basic or locking pliers, but they can make your job easier and faster when you need them. Some examples of specialty pliers are snap-ring pliers, which have tips for expanding or compressing snap rings; hose-clamp pliers, which have hooks or slots for opening or closing hose clamps; and spark-plug pliers, which have rubber-coated jaws for gripping and removing spark plugs.

4 How to choose pliers

When selecting the right pliers for your project, consider the size and shape of the part, the amount of force and control needed, the accessibility and visibility of the work area, and the quality and durability of the tool. Generally, basic pliers are suitable for simple and common tasks like gripping, twisting, cutting, and bending wires or small parts. Locking pliers are better for difficult and uncommon tasks like clamping, turning, holding, and removing stubborn or damaged parts. Specialty pliers should be used for specific and rare tasks such as expanding or compressing snap rings, opening or closing hose clamps, or gripping and removing spark plugs. Additionally, make sure to pick pliers that fit the part without being too large or too small. They should also be comfortable to use with ergonomic handles, smooth action, adjustable tension, high-quality materials like forged steel or chrome-plated steel, sharp jaws, edges, and tips.

Choose a pair based on what you’re doing. You need to get a snap ring off and don’t want to pry it off with a screwdriver? Get a pair of snap ring pliers! As a former 91B in the Army there was a lot of times where I wish I had those for LMTV services?? A little research on the different pliers and how to use them properly will answer any question regarding the different pliers and their uses. Use the right tool for the right job.

You should ask yourself if pliers are the best tool for the job. Some times in the heat of momoment we will use what we have handy. It is easy to reach in the tool bag or pocket and grab the pliers when the proper wrench is across the plant in our tool box. Using the improper tool can damage equipment, but also be dangerous to you and other employees.
