	Pliers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pliers were first invented in Europe around 2000 BC to grip hot objects (principally iron as it was being forged on an anvil).
		In technical terms, pliers are an instrument that convert a power grip, the curling of the fingers into the palm of the hand, into a precision grip, which directs the power of the hand's grip in a precise fashion on the object to be gripped.
		Nail pulling pliers - an adaptation of the end nipper used for cutting wire; the jaws may be asymmetric, allowing the nail to be pulled out with a rocking motion on the surface in which it is imbedded.
