Are there alternatives to combination pliers?

			Combination pliers are simple yet versatile. They can be used for a variety of tasks, some of which can be performed by tools with more specific functions.
			Alternatives to Combination Grip Pliers
			Combination pliers provide a better grip than hands for many things, including small or hard-to-reach items.
			Other types of pliers Combination pliers are just one of the pliers available. For more specific gripping tasks, you may need a special design. Combination pliers are designed for general use, but there are a huge variety of specialty pliers designed for different industries and tasks.
			For example, long-nosed or thin-nosed pliers are more suitable for penetrating a long, narrow space. Other designs include pliers with adjustable pivot points so the jaws will open to different widths. For a firmer grip, you can get pliers that can be locked in place.
			Sliding joint, water pump and intensifier Pliers are usually designed to grip small items such as wire and pins. For gripping larger objects, slip-on pliers, water pump pliers, or multipliers may be more suitable. They come in different sizes and each has jaws that can be fitted to different sizes. These types of pliers are usually suitable for a heavier grip.
			Vices Another tool that can provide a secure grip is a vise. Larger vices are usually mounted on workbenches, but come in a variety of designs and sizes.
			Alternatives to combination cutting pliers
			The small cutting blades of the combination pliers are designed for cutting thin cables and soft wires.
			Other types of pliers Most plier designs often include a cutting function either in the jaws, as in combination pliers, or on the handle side of the pivot point. Because combination pliers are designed for a variety of applications, their cutting ability is limited because the cutting edges do not run the full length of the jaws. Therefore, sometimes other types of pliers may be more suitable.
			Side and diagonal cutters  Side cutters, often referred to as a type of pliers, are specially designed for cutting wire and similar materials. Unlike combination pliers, side cutters and side cutters are designed specifically for cutting and are not suitable for gripping.
			Nippers for trimming the ends End cutters are sometimes referred to as end cut pliers or end cut pliers. These are more powerful wire cutters that are used for larger diameter and stiffer wire.
			Wire and bolt cutters There are scissors specifically designed for cutting wire and small bolts. They are usually heavier than pliers and can cut through thicker and tougher materials. They are usually characterized by very long arms and especially short jaws.
