Pliers are a general tool used to grip just about anything.

While pliers are a necessity, they are more often used when the proper tool for a job is not available. Besides loosening a radiator hose spring-clamp, there aren't too many jobs in auto repair that were meant for your pliers. That being said, pliers can be an indispensible tool when you are in a pinch.
