Claim Text:
1. Pliers comprising a center cutter, having a first limb and a second limb arranged to cross in a single joint which forms a pivot axis, the first limb and the second limb being connected with each other in the pivot axis, the first limb and the second limb forming, on one side of the joint, interacting working regions that have free ends, and the first limb and the second limb having gripping limbs on the other side of the joint, wherein the first limb comprises a U-shaped region, the U-shaped region having a first U-limb connected to a second U-limb via a crosspiece, wherein the pivot axis passes through the second U-limb, wherein both the first U-limb and the second U-limb form a region that protrudes freely toward a pliers tip, the pliers tip being formed by tips of the interacting working regions, wherein the pivot axis is arranged, both in a closed position of the pliers as well as in an open position of the pliers, offset toward the free ends with respect to a peripheral edge of the crosspiece of the U-shaped region, the peripheral edge facing toward the free ends of the working regions, wherein each of the interacting working regions comprises a respective cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge of the first limb is disposed on the first U-limb, wherein each tip of the interacting working regions is a respective cutting tip, wherein the cutting edges lie with the cutting tips against each other in the closed position of the pliers, wherein, seen in a representation in which the pivot axis appears to be a point, a first line perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pliers and running across the pivot axis runs between the peripheral edge and the free ends of the interacting working regions, wherein the peripheral edge of the crosspiece of the U-shaped region and a substantial length of the free ends of the interacting working regions are substantially aligned in the closed position of the pliers, and wherein the cutting edges extend substantially in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pliers and/or wherein the first U-limb and the second U-limb extend substantially in a direction parallel to the cutting edges.
