    Combination Jaw

    Made of stainless steel or titanium, these pliers are good for environments where moisture and other contaminants are present. Also known as lineman’s and combination pliers, use them to pull, bend, and cut wire. The jaws have a flat area for general gripping and a curved area for round material.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel pliers resist corrosion that can hinder joint movement, but the jaws will wear more quickly than steel jaws.
    Titanium—Titanium pliers are nonmagnetic, so they are often used for work on MRI machines where magnetic tools can cause damage or injury.
    Cushion Grip—Cushion-grip pliers have plastic grips for comfort.
