As I've mentioned before, I make chainmaille. This involves bending little rings open and closed and weaving them together. After a while, this can get very tiring, not to mention damaging. so I propose a new type of pliers.
At first glance, it looks like the letter 'Y'. There is the handle, and the
two gripper parts, I forget what they're called right now. In the handle, there's a small motor connected to the grippy things. When you press a button, the pliers close.
It might also be a good idea to have them close with different degrees of force, just so you don't crush anything. And, have a set with cutters instead of pliers.
*goes back to cutting*

Aren't these called Vice Grips? |
|
| |
Vice grips are pimps, Vise Grips are plier-like tools from a Nebraska company of the same name. |

Google appears to recognize the generic "vice" spelling, for what it's worth. |
|
| |
Not much. It's a trade name. |
|
| |
A more home oriented version than the hydraulic link would be wonderful. |
|
| |
Yeah, but vice grips would take a lot more trouble, wouldn't they? |
|
| |
Well, a saw would be easier than hand cutting, but you can't very well take a saw with you on trips and such. It's really rather a moot point, as this idea is more about pliers. |
