Anything that pinches. From the crab's 'sipit' that you're scared of at the palengke, to the 'sipit' (tongs) you use for the barbecue, to the 'sipit' (hair clip) holding your life together on a stressful day. It's the OG multi-tool.
A general term. Specific types are often named, e.g., 'sipit ng damit' (clothespin), 'sipit sa buhok' (hair clip).
