0 one of a pair of curved claws of an animal such as a crab
1 a tool for holding or pulling something, made of two curved metal bars that move against each other so that when the handles are pushed together the other ends close tightly
Using wooden pincers, the preparer picks up each square of gold and places it in the center of each skin.
Using the pincers, these squares of gold are put into a second packet called the "shoder", which has approximately 1,500 skins.
They were small, no larger than an ordinary edible crab, with bloated shells and moderately long pincers.
All species also have very large scorpion-like pedipalps (pincers) but there is an additional large spine on each palpal tibia.
If attacking pincers link up in the enemy's rear, the enemy is encircled.
The pincers at the end of each tentacle can also be used to cut and tear into the flesh of his enemies.
The first four pairs of legs end in pincers, and have a series of spines, called the gnathobase, on the inner surface.
In many decapods, however, one pair of legs has enlarged pincers; the claws are called chelae, so those legs may be called chelipeds.
