A device comprising: (a) a first working arm; (b) a shuttle located on the first working arm, and (c) a bias device; wherein the bias device biases the first working arm when the shuttle is in a first position, and wherein the bias device is free of biasing the first working arm when the shuttle is in a second position.

The inventions relates to crimping pliers with two hand levers (3, 5) and two actuation elements (9, 10) located in the region of a pliers head (4). The actuation elements (9, 10) actuates dies (12) between which a workpiece can be crimped. A toggle lever drive (33) with two toggle levers (34, 35) which build a toggle lever angle (36) acts between the hand levers (3, 5) and the actuation elements (9, 10). One toggle lever (34) is built by a roller (23) which is pivotably mounted to the hand lever (5). The roller (23) rolls along a curved track (24) fixed at the other hand lever (3). A forced locking unit (48) is built with a toothed latching lever (28) which is supported for being rotated relatively to the roller (23). A lever part (30) of the toothed latching lever (28) is coupled by a sliding guide to the hand lever (3), whereas the other lever part (29) of the toothed latching lever (28) forms a toothing (31) for latching of the forced locking unit (48).

A multi-function tool that is adapted to cut various materials and has multiple features. The tool includes first and second halves pivotally coupled together at a pivot and respective first and second jaw portions. A first cutting section is cooperatively formed by first and second cutting edges respectively disposed on the first and second jaw portions, and a second cutting section is cooperatively formed third and fourth cutting edges respectively disposed on the first and second jaw portions. A grip feature and/or a wire stripping feature may also be defined by a grooves or indents disposed on the first or second jaw portions between the first and second cutting portions.
