Uses of half-round nose pliers in electronics

Some of the uses of small half-round nose pliers in electronics are:
- Bending component leads
- Straightening component leads
- Inserting components into a breadboard

Elaborating on the last point above: It may be difficult to insert components into a new breadboard or to insert components that have thicker leads (legs). The ridges at the tip of the pliers give a good grip and help to insert components in this situation.
