Wait, I thought it was a side cutter. Now it looks like it has jaws, so it’s a pliers or a pair of pliers.

Side cutters often used in-lieu-of a set of dykes (pliers with only the cutting edge without the plier tip.) Most of my use is for nipping off the end of TIG wire or cutting them in half.

Those aren’t dykes. Dykes are diagonals.

That's the other common name for them, but I don't like it since many of my other tools are also Klein brand and I don't like unnecessary confusion.
