The long nose plier is a great tool in its proper application. However it is probably one of the most improperly used plier by beginning home repair folks.
The long-nose plier allows you to grip fine, small objects like wire and small nails or brads. It also allows you to cut with the cutting edges found at the back of the upper and lower jaws.
Long-nose pliers have very limited jaw opening capabilities and are NOT intended for use with bolts or nuts. They are however an essential tool for electrical work with wires.
