About This Item
TS ISO 5742 is a nomenclature standard for pliers and nippers. It focuses on the terms used to identify the main forms and components of these hand tools, helping manufacturers, suppliers and technical writers use the same language when describing related products.
Why nomenclature matters for hand tools
In general technical practice, pliers and nippers may look similar at a glance, but they can differ in jaw form, cutting function, gripping geometry and intended use. Clear terminology reduces ambiguity in catalogues, drawings, instructions and procurement records. For users and engineers, that matters because tool selection often depends on the exact shape and function being named, not just on the broad family of the tool.
What this standard covers and what it does not

- The figures are examples only and are not intended to influence manufacturer design.
