The Cutting Pliers are a progression and escape type item in Granny. They are technically a major to completing the game as they are needed for disabling a lock on the Main Door and getting access to behind of the Jail Ventilator where items are guaranteed to spawn.
Appearance
The Cutting Pliers have two green, plastic bow-shaped handles with blades at the ends made out of scratched steel. They are connected together with a steel cylinder joint in the middle. The scratching and the chipping all over the Cutting Pliers hint that they are indeed very old.
Mechanics
Usage
The Cutting Pliers are used for cutting various wires to disable electrical technology:
- Using it on the Wire Lock's main contraption to disable its upper L.E.D light.
- Using it on the Circuit Breaker wire in order to disable the wire lock's lower L.E.D light.
- The one connecting with the Jail Ventilator, so the player can get the item behind it.

Trivia
- On preset #4, you can see that the Cutting Pliers don't touch the Safe's wall.
- The Cutting Pliers were the only progression type item to ever spawn inside SA Entrance.
- This stayed like so until V1.8, where they were moved to the Chest Puzzle.
- The Cutting Pliers have not changed their positions on preset #1 and preset #4 ever since this game's initial release.
- Until V1.8, due to item locations, the Cutting Pliers were necessary for every escape route on every preset. But since then, the Chain Cutter can be used as an alternative, and in some cases are easier to find and use.
- This makes the Cutting Pliers obsolete because the Chain Cutter can be used to cut wires. Besides that, the Chain Cutter can be found much more easily on preset #4. Specifically, it is found on the Shotgun table in the Garage.
- Prior to Version 1.3.2, the Player could actually reach the Cutting Pliers behind the Safe on preset #4.
- The Cutting Pliers used to have a few different locations:
- In the Dining Room wardrobe, later moved to the Well in v1.3.
- In the Well, later moved to the Secret Area Entrance table in v1.5.
- On the Secret Area Entrance table, later moved to the Chest Puzzle in v1.8.
- In the Kitchen Locker, later moved to the Meat Room table in v1.1.
- On the table in the Meat Room, later moved to the Crow Cage in v1.7.
