The invention relates to locking or expanding pliers (1) comprising two plie r arms (4,5) which are joined to each other in the manner of a scissor-type joint, said arms forming grip sections (6,7) on one end and clamping section s (12,13) on the other end and being able to be locked in various clamping positions, whereby the clamping results from the elastic deformation of at least one of the two plier arms (4,5) occurring when the plier arms (4,5) ar e placed in a clamping position. According to the invention, a spring element (F) is arranged in the active area between the clamping section and the grip section in order to achieve improved proportioning of the clamping force, whereby both grip sections (6,7) can be disposed on top of each other and placed in another locking position (19,20), when both clamping sections (12,13) are maintained in a distanced position (a), in order to increase clamping power.
