Many Leatherman tools include pliers as the primary tool. It is usually a combination needle-nose and standard pliers, with fine gripping teeth near the tip, and more jagged teeth closer to the pivot.
These pliers are found on the very first SuperTool models, before Leatherman added the hard wire cutter notch.
The Leatherman pliers are full-sized, and can be used to grip, pry or compress just about anything. They are significantly more powerful and useful than the Victorinox pliers. Leatherman pliers range in size from 40mm to 60mm (2.5" to 3.5"), depending on the overall size of the tool.
All Leatherman pliers include soft-wire cutters, which can cut copper and other soft materials. Most also include a hard-wire cutting notch, designed to shear the wire rather than slice it.
