square nosed pliers/wire cutters. Later to learn them by a seemingly more proper name of "Bull Nose Pliers".

I learned that Dykes were the square nosed pliers/wire cutters. Later to learn them by a seemingly more proper name of "Bull Nose Pliers". And I have heard the triangular headed ones called Dykes as well, but I have always just called them wire cutters (but I interchange Dykes and Bull Nose pliers all the time for the other ones.) I have NO idea if these are the right terms (I would lean towards thinking Bull Nose is correct, but I tend to doubt Dykes is anything more than an used term) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
