Abstract: A welding plier includes a first handle and a second handle joined at a pivot point. A spring is disposed between the first and the second handle and biases the first handle away from the second handle. The welding plier also includes a first jaw that extends from the first handle and a second jaw that extends from the second handle. Interior surfaces of the first and second jaws are configured to come into contact with one another when a force is applied to the first handle and/or the second handle so as to overcome the biasing force provided by the spring. The exterior surface of the first jaw and the second jaw each form a step between eight terminal tip portion and a proximal portion.
