a first pressing jaw having a first handle extending therefrom;
a second pressing jaw pivotably mounted on said first pressing jaw about a first pivot axis;
a second handle which can move in a spreadable manner relative to said first handle and which is linked to said second pressing jaw; said second pressing jaw having a u-shaped node element having a base and two limbs extending from said base in the direction of said first and second handles, said base being mounted on said first pressing jaw via the first pivot axis and a first of said limbs being mounted on said second handle via a second pivot axis, sections of said pressing jaws remote from said handles forming a pliers mouth which when opened, pivots a second limb of said node element in the direction of an upper outer rim of said first pressing jaw, said outer rim being remote from said second pressing jaw; and
a stop adjustable between a passive position and at least one active position is arranged on the first pressing jaw, opening movement of said second handle being limited by said second limb of said node element coming to a stop on said stop by setting said stop into the at least one active position, said stop further limiting maximum opening movement of said second handle when said stop is placed in the passive position.
