A hand tool includes a handle section, a working end operably coupled to the handle section, and a jaw assembly disposed at the working end. The jaw assembly includes a movable jaw and a fixed jaw. A span defined between the movable jaw and the fixed jaw is adjustable. Each of the movable jaw and the fixed jaw includes an array of teeth defined by ridges that extend substantially parallel to each other. The array of teeth on each of the fixed jaw and the movable jaw includes a first set of teeth having a first width and a first depth, and a second set of teeth having a second width and a second depth. The first depth is less than the second depth and the first width is less than the second width.

At least some implementations of the present invention include the ability to access and secure a compressed riser portion of a pop-up sprinkler. Access is gained through use of the tip of the tool, sloped for access clearance between the sprinkler nozzle “lip” and outer sprinkler base. Once raised from the outer sprinkler casing, the riser is secured in a designated clamping bay or within designated clamping points. This two-pronged approach accommodates varying diameter of sprinkler risers and increases the multi-use function of the tool. The tool's overall inward tension is provided by an engineered compression spring designed with adequate outward tension without making hand compression use of the tool restrictive. Use of the tool in an inward sweeping motion toward the sprinkler allows for raising and clamping the riser in a quick and simple fashion. Thereafter, allowing free and open-hand access for quick and thorough maintenance, repair, exchange or adjustment of the sprinkler nozzle and filter.

The present invention relates to a manual hydraulic multi-functional extra-high-voltage insulating gear gripper pliers stick for live-wire work and the pliers stick and, more specifically, to a manual hydraulic multi-functional extra-high-voltage insulating gear gripper pliers stick for live-wire work and an indirect live-wire construction method using the pliers stick, which: allow components or the like, which are installed on and removed from an electric pole in order to perform electric wire-stringing work or fix electric wires, to be remotely constructed by means of the indirect live-wire work while maintaining a safe distance from live wires when constructing power distribution equipment in an extra-high-voltage live-wire state; ensure safety by eliminating risks due to instability during work, said instability occurring due to the intensity of the labor and the physical limitations of the workers; and bring about improvements in utilization efficiency.

A retrofittable auxiliary pliers handle assembly includes a coupler removably coupled to a grip of a pair of pliers. The coupler is positionable between a free end of the grip and a pivot of the pliers. The coupler includes a receiver positioned laterally away from an exterior lateral surface of the grip. An auxiliary handle is positioned in the receiver such that the auxiliary handle is positioned adjacent to the exterior lateral surface and extends away from the pivot. A finger space is defined between the auxiliary handle and the grip. The auxiliary handle comprises a plate that elongated and has a first end, a second end, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, an upper edge and a lower edge. The coupler engages the plate adjacent to the first end such that the first lateral side faces the exterior lateral surface.

A pair of locking pliers with an indicatable adjustment device includes a main body which includes a first and a second gripping jaw cooperatively for clamping a workpiece and an indicatory adjustment device configured to fine tune the clamping pressure between the first and the second gripping jaws and having an auxiliary sign which shows different indications in response to the operation of the adjustment device.

A fishhook remover for dehooking a fishhook from a catch is provided. The fishhook remover includes a first jaw and a second jaw, wherein the first jaw has a needle for engaging an eye of the fishhook, the needle projecting from a surface of the first jaw toward an opposing surface of the second jaw; wherein the second jaw has an opening on the opposing surface that is configured to receive the needle. The first and second jaws are operatively coupled to move between an open position where the first and second jaws are separated by a maximum distance possible and the eye of the fishhook can fit over the needle, and a closed position where the first and second jaws are at their closest approach to one another and the needle contacts the second jaw to securely retain the fishhook between the first and second jaws.
