Pliers

The Pliers are a key item found in ObsCure and ObsCure II.

Location
In the first game, they're found in the basement, after Friedman injects the students with the spores.

In the second game, you'll find them in the library, in Leafmore.

Purpose
In ObsCure, it's used three times:
 * The first time you can use it is right after escaping the cell in the basement, to open the chest containing your items and weapons. Technically, this is optional.
 * The first mandatory use is right after exiting the basement for the first time, after re-uniting with Kenny, to open the door leading back to the courtyard.
 * Then, you have to use it to open the door in the courtyard that leads to the area that has access to the gymnasium, dormitory and gardens.
 * Afterwards, you must use it to cut the lock in the dormitory's door.
 * Then, exclusively in the European version, you can use it to open a door in the second floor of the library.
 * Finally, you must use it to open the door on the second floor of the library to escape.

In ObsCure 2, it's used only once, to open the door leading to the area where you can get up to Friedman's office and down to the tunnel to fight Leonard.

Trivia
The model for the pliers in ObsCure 2 is much less detailed, having half the polygon count than the one in the first game.
