How to distinguish between flat nose pliers and pointed nose pliers

The difference between flat nose pliers and pointed nose pliers
The biggest difference between flat nose pliers and pointed nose pliers is the shape of the pliers mouth. The jaws of flat nose pliers are wider and parallel, while the jaws of pointed nose pliers are narrower and sharper. In addition, they also have the following differences:
1. Different sizes of pliers: flat nose pliers have wider pliers, while pointed nose pliers have thinner pliers.
2. The clamping force of the pliers is different: flat nose pliers have a greater clamping force than pointed nose pliers.
3. Different applicable objects: Flat nose pliers are suitable for clamping parts with wider planes, while pointed nose pliers are suitable for clamping smaller parts or parts that require higher precision.
Application scenarios of flat nose pliers and pointed nose pliers
1. Application scenarios of flat mouth pliers
Due to its wide mouth and stronger clamping force, flat nose pliers are commonly used to clamp large workpieces such as pipes and threaded connections, and can also be used to bend metal wires or twist screw wires.
2. Application scenarios of pointed nose pliers
Sharp nose pliers have the main advantage of gripping small items due to their slender and sharp tips. Secondly, due to its smaller clamping force than flat mouth pliers, it can be used to clamp fragile or high-precision small objects, such as electronic components, wires, and small screws.
In short, although flat nose pliers and pointed nose pliers are common hand tools, they have different characteristics and application scenarios. The choice of pliers largely depends on the specific usage needs.
