### Overview:
What kind of pliers do you use in math class? Answer: Multipliers!

These pliers are designed to be easy to print, moderately strong and they have built-in springs to self open when you release pressure on the handles.

Included are four variations:
A - Needle nose with jaw teeth
B - Needle nose with smooth jaws (no teeth)
C - Blunt nose with jaw teeth
D - Blunt nose with smooth jaws

Each pliers consists of two parts - a male and female side.

### Supports:

The needle nose variations (types A and B) need supports. Supports are only needed under the nose section of the male part.

The blunt nose variations (types C and D) do not need any supports.

### Assembly:

(1) Align the hinge notches of the two parts and press them together (sightly rotating back and forth can help find the right alignment). For reference the notches align in almost the fully opened position.

(2) After the parts are pressed together rotate the parts back and forth u
