Claim:
A pair of pliers ( 1 ), having pliers jaws ( 4 , 5 ) that are formed on pliers limbs, the pliers jaws are forming a working region, wherein further the pliers limbs have gripping regions ( 2 , 3 ), are crossing over one another and being pivotably mounted by bearing bolts ( 6 , 7 ), the bearing bolts ( 6 , 7 ) being connected by a cover plate ( 8 ), and wherein further the pliers jaws being formed on the working region side of the cover plate ( 8 ) and the cross-over region (K) of the pliers limbs being formed on the gripping region side of the cover plate ( 8 ), wherein a tangential bend (A), as seen in a side view, is formed in the pliers limbs on the gripping side relative to the cover plate ( 8 ), different pivot planes (E 1 -E 1 and E 2 -E 2 ) of the pliers limbs created thereby intersecting one another in the bend, the gripping regions ( 2 , 3 ) running in one pivot plane (E 2 -E 2 ) and regions of the pliers limbs extending on the working region side of the tangential bend (A) running in another pivot plane (E 1 -E 1 ); and wherein said cross-over region (K) of the pliers limbs runs on the gripping side of the tangential bend (A), wherein further the gripping regions ( 2 , 3 ) cross over each other without any pivot pin, before they pass into the region of the cover plate ( 8 ); and wherein there is only one cover plate ( 8 ); and wherein the cover plate ( 8 ) is located on an inner side, with respect to the tangential bend.
