  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Pinchers  \Pinch"ers\,  n.  pl  [From  {Pinch}.] 
  An  instrument  having  two  handles  and  two  grasping  jaws 
  working  on  a  pivot;  --  used  for  griping  things  to  be  held 
  fast  drawing  nails,  etc 
 
  Note:  This  spelling  is  preferable  to  pincers,  both  on  account 
  of  its  derivation  from  the  English  pinch,  and  because 
  it  represents  the  common  pronunciation.
