EN: pliers
Tatay's best friend. That tool you can never find when you need it, but is always in the way when you don't. It's the go-to solution for everything from fixing a leaky faucet to pulling out a stubborn milk tooth (don't do this). Also known as 'alyas'.
From English `pliers`, with Filipinized spelling and pronunciation.
'Alyas' (from Spanish `alicates`) is another common term.
