Motorcycle part pliers are scissor-like gripping tools that multiply the strength of a user's hand and are used by gripping with two short jaws on one side of a pivot and two longer handles for leverage on the other. They have almost infinite variations, with springs and locks added and are designed for grabbing irregular shaped objects. These motorcycle tools have very limited use for bicycle work, and many bicycle parts are damaged by individuals who try to use pliers for a job that really calls for a wrench. Thus, this negligence results in damage to the surfaces of the nuts or bolts so abused, as the serrated jaws slip around. Many accidents are caused by people attempting to secure axle nuts with pliers. This cannot be done by people of normal hand strength, the nuts will not be tight, and the wheel is liable to fall out. The common motorycle part pliers include slip pivot, which give two different openings for each position of the handles and slip joint or channel lock, which give five or six positions, in each case to get the most strength out of the hand by placing the handles at the right distance. Needle nose pliers taper down to a point for gripping small objects or getting in small spaces.

Since motorcycle part pliers come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, for your safety and comfort, you should use the right tool for the job. Use adjustable pliers to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts, pinch snap-rings, and other jobs that require a good grip. The slip-joint style adjusts to two positions for large or small objects. Groove-joint pliers are sometimes called tongue-and-groove or channel locks, there are too many possible sizes they can adjust to. The jaw can reach almost-90-degree angle and the handles are long to allow better leverage.
You can bend and twist wires, grip small objects, and work in confined spaces with gripping pliers. Some come with a wire cutter near the pivot point. Pliers used by linesmen are great for pulling and twisting wires; long-nose and their smaller cousin needle-nose pliers are ideal for working in confined spaces, jewelry making, and electrical work.
You can cut and strip wire with diagonal cutters or cutting pliers. With tile nippers you can chip, trim and shape tile. Tin snips, are able to cut out sheet metal. You must us use locking-type pliers, sometimes called vise-grips, if you have pipe works. There is a long-nose version that is useful for those hard-to-reach places. This type of pliers provides excellent holding power with adjustable degrees of tension.
Never use motorcycle part pliers to tighten nuts or bolts; locking pliers, can grip a nut or bolt hard enough, but will ruin the driving surface so that it will be unusable with the correct tool. You shouldn't use motorcycle part pliers to turn a nut or bolt - you can easily strip the hardware and make it difficult to turn using a wrench, which is the correct tool for that job
