Long Nose Pliers. Frequently used in craft production, this type of pliers is essential in bending and shape forming for jewelry making. The downside to this though is that we can't apply force since the shape of this tool is tapered.

Flat Nose Pliers. This is the most common type of pliers in the tool shed which is mainly used for gripping objects with great compression loads. Usually flat nose pliers come with a wire cutter that has the same function as a lineman's pliers. The disadvantage of this type of pliers is in gripping objects with slim spaces. There is more of a brute force than finesse.

Cutting Pliers. Actually this type of pliers does not belong to the plier's family as stated in its early uses, but the form and concept is basically the same. This type of pliers is used for cutting and stripping wires, which is one of the most useful electrical tools.

Crimping Pliers. This particular type has the most variety. Crimping pliers are used to join or seal two things together. The most common uses for these pliers are for industrial use, but they come along with a costly price tag.
Round Nose Pliers. Also a critical partner in craft making, round nose pliers are used for creating round shaped wires for earrings, necklaces and bracelets. This type of pliers is the same as the long nose pliers, and offers the same disadvantages.
