Lineman\'s, linesman\'s (US English) or combination pliers or linesman pliers (Canadian English) are a type of pliers used by electricians and other tradesmen primarily for gripping, twisting, bending and cutting wire and cable. Linemen\'s pliers owe their effectiveness to their plier design, which multiplies force through leverage.
