The main fixed handle optionally incorporates two swivel out arms, which can form part of a three-legged base. When operated thus, the jaws and moving handle point generally upwards from the formed base, the moving handle can now be operated by one hand leaving the other free to position the workpiece. The moving handle can incorporate a further locking switch that can be utilised in both a switchable locking position or non-locking position upon a sprung toothed strut between the handles, at least one of which further incorporates a curved resilient portion in order to provide useful sprung closure of the parallel moving jaws upon the workpiece in the locking method. A lanyard can be optimally attached to the swivel out arm ends to provide the user with a chest mounted portable vice.

The present invention relates to an open-close handheld apparatus and a method of adjustment of the angle between the handheld portions thereof. The open-close handheld apparatus includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes a first clamping portion and a first handheld portion. The second member includes a second clamping portion and a second handheld portion. The first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are rotatably and movably connected via a first axle pin. The first clamping portion and the second clamping portion open and close relative to each other, the plane in which the open-close path thereof is located is an open-close plane. The first handheld portion is rotatably connected to the first clamping portion. The plane in which the rotation path of the first handheld portion is located is the same as or parallel to the open-close plane. A locking arrangement is provided at the joint between the first handheld portion and the first clamping portion, used for locking or unlocking the first handheld portion and the first clamping portion.

A fishing tool includes a main body and a holding assembly coupled to the main body. The holding assembly includes a bottom holding jaw and a top holding jaw rotatably coupled to the bottom holding jaw and movable relative to the bottom holding jaw between an open holding position and a closed holding position to selectively hold a fish hook in place. The holding assembly is rotatable relative to the main body and configured to be secured relative to the main body in a fixed number of positions.

A hand tool includes a handle assembly, a jaw assembly, a clamping assembly, and an adjustment assembly. The handle assembly includes a first handle and a second handle that each include a proximal end and a distal end. The jaw assembly includes a first jaw and a second jaw. The jaw assembly is operably coupled to the proximal end of the first and second handles. The clamping assembly may be configured to enable the first and second jaws to be locked at a selected distance from each other in a locked position. The adjustment assembly may be configured to enable the selected distance to be modified. The adjustment assembly may be disposed between the first and second handles.

A hand tool includes a head comprising a pair of opposing jaws. Each jaw includes a cutting edge. The hand tool also includes a first handle and a second handle which pivot through a first plane to move the hand tool between an open position and a closed position. In some embodiments, the hand tool also includes a lock pivotable between a locked position and an unlocked position through a second plane distinct from the first plane. In some embodiments, the hand tool also includes a basket having a first basket section removably attached to one of the pair of jaws and a second basket section removably attached to the other of the pair of jaws
