With parallel pliers you can clamp flat metal or metal wire without damaging it. The jaws always remain parallel so that even with thick material all the force is distributed over the entire jaw. The teeth are flat on the material. Springs are fitted in the legs to open the pliers. Some pliers are equipped with a wire cutter. [MOT]

The optician can easily hold spectacle lenses with these spectacle forceps. The jaws consist of two round plates, which are covered with rubber on the inside. This way, the glasses are not damaged and you have a better grip on them. One jaw is mounted on a spring, so that the pressure is applied more gently to the glass. This jaw can also move slightly up or down. The other jaw is slightly larger and hollow on the inside for the convex side of the glass. A spring opens the pliers automatically. [MOT]

For those who have difficulty chewing, they have devised tongs that divide the meat into small pieces. The jaws of the masticator consist of three rods, which fit between each other. Two or three teeth prevent the chewed piece from slipping. A spring ensures the automatic opening of the hand tool. The rotating spindle can be removed to clean the pliers. [MOT]
