Which tool is used for grasping wood, plastic, or metal?

• A. Pliers
• B. Saw
• C. Ruler
• D. Screwdriver

Answer: (A)

Grasping and holding objects securely is what this is about. Pliers are designed to grip, hold, and manipulate materials such as wood, plastic, or metal, making them the best choice for grasping tasks. They come in several styles—slip-joint, needle-nose, locking—so you can reach into tight spaces or grab irregular shapes and apply real holding power without crushing the work. A saw cuts material; a ruler measures length, not grasping. A screwdriver is for turning screws and may pry, but it is not meant for reliable grasping and will slip or damage surfaces. So the tool built for grabbing and holding is the right answer.
