Hajlítok

Hajlítok is a Hungarian term that translates to "pliers" in English. Pliers are a hand tool used for gripping and holding objects, or for bending and cutting. They are a common tool found in households, workshops, and various trades.

The basic design of pliers involves two hinged arms that move in opposition to each other. When the handles are squeezed, the jaws at the other end come together, exerting pressure on whatever is held between them. The type of gripping surface on the jaws varies depending on the intended use of the pliers. Some pliers have serrated jaws for a strong grip, while others have smooth jaws to avoid damaging the material being held.

There are numerous specialized types of pliers, each designed for specific tasks. Common examples include combination pliers, which can grip, cut wire, and strip insulation; needle-nose pliers, with long, pointed jaws for reaching into tight spaces and manipulating small objects; and cutting pliers (also known as diagonal cutters), designed specifically for cutting wire. Other types include slip-joint pliers, lineman's pliers, plumbing pliers, and locking pliers. The choice of pliers depends on the material being worked with, the required grip strength, and the specific action needed, such as gripping, bending, twisting, or cutting.
