Tools used to grip, hold, clamp or pull an object so it can be worked on or moved, rather than to cut, strike or measure it. This includes the many styles of pliers, from ordinary pliers and locking pliers to the needle nose, round nose, slip joint and tongue and groove forms built for a particular grip, the vise, clamp, band clamp and switchable magnetic base used to hold a workpiece to a bench or table, the collet that grips a tool bit in a rotating spindle, and holding and pulling tools such as pincers, tweezers and the ratcheting come along winch. Blacksmith's tongs, used specifically to hold hot metal at the forge, are grouped instead under metalworking forging tools.
