After spending hours at a workbench you really do want to shave of any access time you sit there. Collectivly switching tools you end up wasting plenty of time for simple tasks such as cutting, with the Time Saving Pliers you will have an x acto blade and pliers in one so you spend less time switching and more time fixing.

This seems really impractical, not to mention dangerous. I salute your initiative to create the tool you want to use, but this kind of negates a lot of the benefits of using an x-acto knife: 1) The pliers don't have the same grip as a regular x-acto handle, and you'll lose a lot of the precision the normal handle provides. 2) Since the blade is attached to the pliers, you can't use the tip as easily, nor can you fit the blade in small spaces for detail work. 3) The blade is glued in (not that I can think of an easy alternative way to attach it) so you can't easily replace it when it gets dull--depending on what you're working on, you may need a very sharp blade and might need to change it out rather frequently.

Not to mention the fact that you now have to be aware of a very sharp exposed blade on the back of your previously-blunt pliers.

If you're happy with it, good on ya for seeing your need and filling it, but I wouldn't recommend this tool for general use. You'd need a separate knife and pair of pliers anyhow, for when this couldn't do the job.
