Abstract
A plier has a pair of arms each composed of a jaw portion and a handle portion, and the jaw portions carry respective cutting elements. The arms are pivoted together so that when the handle portions are moved towards one another the jaw portions also move towards one another, and vice versa. Interengaging toothed racks are provided on the handle and jaw portions of the arms in the region where they are pivoted together and cooperate with one another to form a reduction gear.
