Pliers have two pliers handles guided such that they cross one another in a joint region having a stationary joint bolt. Gripping regions are formed on the pliers handles on one side of the joint region, and working regions are formed on free ends of the pliers handles on the other side, said working regions extending to form a pliers jaw. The working regions have first and second toothed regions that come into contact when the pliers jaw is closed. In the first toothed region, in a sequence in the longitudinal extension of the pliers handle, the tooth tips end in a surrounding surface that is flat in the longitudinal section and in contact with same, and the tooth tips of the opposing second toothed region end in a surrounding surface that is convex in the longitudinal section and in contact with same.

A hand tool has first and second tool legs that are connected in a pivot region and which overlap in an overlapping region both in an open state of the hand tool and in a closed state of the hand tool. The tool legs interact with a spring such that the tool legs can be pivoted, even beyond a basic open position, into an extended open position by the user in applying manual force against the force of the spring, the spring coming into action in the case of the additional pivot movement of the hand tool legs beyond the basic open position and/or in the case of a closing pivoting movement of the hand tool legs acts on different bearing surfaces of the hand tool legs.

A wire stripping tool includes a shaft having a handle at a distal end and a wire cutting device at a proximal end. The wire cutting device is a circular metallic form the plane of which is secured centrally and perpendicular to the shaft. A plurality of notches is disposed about the circumference of the circular metallic form.

A guillotine style cutting mechanism that can cut material without a pair of pivoting blades that are externally exposed, does not require a user to open and close two fingers to operate, and can be operated in both the left and right hands (not designed for either hand). The cutting mechanism includes a receiving inlet (trap) for receiving the material, a stationary blade within the trap and a moveable blade that enters the trap when activated by an engagement mechanism. The cutting mechanism may include an outer housing having an open interior, an extension arm extending from the housing to create the trap, a stationary blade within the trap, a movable blade formed on a rod within the housing, and an engagement button that causes the moveable blade to traverse the housing so as to extend into the trap and engage the stationary blade to cut the material.

A cutting head for a power tool. The cutting head includes a first jaw having a first blade mounting surface and a second jaw having a second blade mounting surface. The second jaw is rotatably coupled to the first jaw. The cutting head also includes a first blade removably coupled to the first blade mounting surface of the first jaw and a second blade removably coupled to the second blade mounting surface of the second jaw. A first cutting edge of the first blade is substantially co-planar with a second cutting edge of the second blade. During a cutting action, the first jaw and the second jaw rotate with respect to one another to bring the first cutting edge closer to the second cutting edge.

A fishing tool is provided for use in association with the performance of fishing and other similar activities, and more particularly, to a rod-mountable fishing tool exhibiting an integrated aesthetic appearance wherein aesthetic shapes and features also can serve multiple functions associated with tasks typically performed while fishing, such as cutting of lines, nipping of knots, tying of knots, storage of hooks and lines, and other tasks.
