Every Type of Pliers Explained | Part 1

Pliers look like the simplest tool in the box — two handles, a pivot, done. But grab the wrong pair and you'll strip a bolt, crack a plastic hose fitting, or realize halfway through the job that the tool in your hand physically can't do what you're asking it to. In this video, we break down every type of pliers and explain exactly what each one is designed to do. Whether you're pulling a stuck hose off a fitting, cutting wire without a scissor action, locking a workpiece hands-free for welding, or removing a retaining ring buried inside a bore, this is the only reference you'll need. If you're into tools, workshop skills, or just like understanding how things work, this one's for you. Go check your own toolbox — how many of these could you actually name on sight?
