About the Pliers

Pliers are a gripping tool with two jaws joined at a pivot, like a small pair of levers. Squeezing the handles closes the jaws tight, so you can hold, bend, or squeeze a piece of wire or metal. The pivot sits close to the jaws, which turns a light squeeze into a strong grip. Add this printable to a builders' lesson and trace the handles down to the jaws.

Pliers give a hand extra strength to grip and bend metal wire.
The pivot near the jaws turns a light squeeze into a firm hold.
