Abstract
The invention relates to A pliers () having two pliers limbs () which are connected so as to be pivotable relative to one another in a box joint having a joint pin (), a working region () being formed on one pliers limb () on the one side of the joint and a gripping region () being formed on the other side of the joint, and a passed-through pliers limb () being formed with a push-through slot () which has a slot width (s) in the joint region and through which the other through-passing pliers limb () extends, the working regions of the pliers limbs () moreover having, at least in part, a width (b) that is greater than the slot width (s), and the working regions () designed in the form of jaws or cutting edges pivoting toward a shared central plane (E). In order to improve the pliers with regard to high performance while optimizing manufacturability, it is proposed that the joint pin () be laterally offset with respect to the central plane (E).
