Hand-actuatable plier tool

A manually operable plier tool for processing cables, comprising:

• a first pressing jaw including a first handle extending therefrom,
• a second pressing jaw pivotably mounted on the first pressing jaw about a first pivot axis,
• a second handle being spreadably movable relative to the first handle and is being hinged on the second pressing jaw,
• a U-shaped node element arranged on the second pressing jaw and having a base and a first and second leg each extending from the base toward the handles,
• the base of the node element being mounted on the first pressing jaw via the first pivot axis and the first leg being mounted on the second handle via a second pivot axis,
• the second leg of the node element being pivotable toward an upper outer edge of the first pressing jaw remote from the second pressing jaw when a plier mouth is opened,
• an electronic counter for counting the number of treatment or processing operations,
• the electronic counter having at least one switching element, an evaluating unit and at least one signal transmitter electrically connected to the evaluating unit,
• wherein
• the counter is arranged in a counting unit detachably fastened to the first pressing jaw, and
• the plier handles are in a closed position, the second leg of the node element interacts with the counting unit to output at least one counting signal to the evaluating unit by the at least one switching element.
