What should a basic pliers set for a home toolbox include?

Reviewer consensus

Most recommended starter sets contain a slip-joint, long-nose (needle-nose), diagonal cutters, a tongue-and-groove/water-pump plier, and ideally linesman pliers. Seven- and eight-piece sets from WORKPRO, DURATECH, and CRAFTSMAN cover this combination at budget-friendly prices.
