Pliers having two pliers handles

Pliers (1) having two pliers handles (2, 3) guided such that they cross one another in a joint region having a stationary joint bolt (8), wherein gripping regions are formed on the pliers handles (2, 3) on one side of the joint region, and working regions (9, 10) are formed on free ends of the pliers handles (2, 3) on the other side, said working regions complement each other to form a pliers jaw (M), wherein the working regions (9, 10) further have first and second toothed regions (16 and 17) that come into contact when the pliers jaw (M) is closed, and the opposing first and second toothed regions (16, 17) are shaped differently in a longitudinal extension thereof, wherein in the first toothed region (16), viewed in a sequence in a longitudinal extent of the pliers handle (2, 3), the tooth tips (22) end in a surrounding surface (23) that is flat in a longitudinal cross-section and in contact with same, and that tooth tips (22) of the opposing second toothed region (17) end in a surrounding surface (30) that is convex in the longitudinal cross-section and in contact with same,

• wherein with regard to a longitudinal extent of the pliers jaw member (6, 7), a point of the convex surrounding surface (30) which protrudes furthest towards an opposite working region (9) when the surrounding surfaces (23, 30) of the first and the second toothed regions (16, 17) come into contact with one another in a longitudinal cross-section is arranged in a half of the flat surrounding surface (23) located toward the free end of the respective working region.
