I'm assuming the "pliers" you mention are actually "pincers". Ticks do not have pincers. The only body part on a tick that looks like that are the mouth parts.
As far as what it is, I don't know - but you might try looking up arachnid's since ticks are arachnidae. you may be able to find something that would match it.
Here's a good starting point:

Never seen a tick with pincers.
