I'm willing to wager that you were never in the Navy. I know Bob was &
I have heard other Navy guys call them forceps. Different lingo in
different circles. Given theat the tool isn't used to ply anything,
forceps might even be a more accurate term. Sorry that the world
doesn't conform to your expectations.

If someone at work ask to borrow my forceps, he or she would get a deer
in
the headlight look. However, third drawer down on the right is my CLECO
pliers. Oh yeah, 23 years in the NAVY.

I've worked with and around electronics most of my life and computers
since they came on the scene. If you ask for my forceps that is
exactly what is in the second drawer down in the smaller tool box,
right along with a bunch of dentists tools. I think there are probably
a couple of scalpels in there too.

Now Roger...we're talkin' a different kinda "animule" here...You're
absolutly right. In Electronics and "Delicate" instrument work "Forceps"
certainly have there place...but...They were talkin about "Cleco pliers".
