A plier and jaw modifier body for use with a plier. The plier has a pair of opposing jaws. There is a jaw modifier body coupled to each of the opposing jaws via at least one coupler. The coupler can be a screw, bolt, or the like, or it can be a magnet. Each jaw modifier body has at least one working surface to engage a work piece. The jaw modifier body can be coupled and decoupled to the plier jaws to provide customization and versatility to pliers. Various working surfaces can be utilized to hold and manipulate various work pieces.

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.

A novel de-coupling tool for push-fit connectors that employs a novel compression carousel including a parallel pair of clover-shaped discs slidably secured together by a central axle and a plurality of radially-spaced spindles, the discs being spring-biased apart by at least one spring. Each clover shaped disc is shaped with a plurality of radially-spaced open yokes of various sizes for capturing different sizes of push-fit couplings. The compression carousel is rotatable about the central axle to select an appropriately-sized pair of yokes depending on the size of the coupling. Both a vice-grip embodiment and a lever-operated embodiment are disclosed, in both cases that compress the opposing discs together.

A hand tool structure has two plier bodies pivoted by a pivot member, and a knob mechanism for controlling opening and closing of the two plier bodies. The pivot member includes a cylindrical body pivoted to the two plier bodies and a spring sleeved onto the cylindrical body and having two ends abutting against the two plier bodies. Opposing sides of the two plier bodies each include a V- shaped groove to form a square clamping hole when the two plier bodies are closed; a row of teeth; a first cutting portion for cutting an electric wire or cable; a second cutting portion for cutting a metal wire; a wavy peeling portion for peeling a jacket of the electric wire, the peeling portion including curved sections each having a different radius of curvature, wherein when the two plier bodies are closed, the curved sections form receiving holes with different diameters.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for use with an adjustable wrench to limit the displacement of a broken portion of the adjustable wrench relative to the remaining parts of the adjustable wrench when the wrench fractures.

A pair of locking pliers includes a first locking unit; a second locking unit including a second handle and a second jaw pivotally connected to the first locking unit and the second handle at a first connecting point and a second connecting point, respectively; a linking member connected to the second handle and the first locking unit at a third connecting point and a fourth connecting point, respectively; and a switching member being convertible relative to the linking member between a blocking position, where the second, third and fourth connecting points are prohibited from becoming collinear, and an unblocking position, where the second, third and fourth connecting points are allowed to become collinear.

An improved parallel-jaws locking wrench/plier with toggle action includes a body element, a fixed jaw, and a moving jaw capable of moving rectilinearly by means of an action cam, which is pivotally connected to a locking lever coupling respectively to the upper ends of a fulcrum bar and a releasing lever thereof. A handle secured to the body element has an axially adjustable screw to regulate the opening of the jaws. This is the chosen embodiment to develop this invention, which enables the toggle wrench/pliers to use interchangeable jaw sets with simple and convenient steps.

Pliers (1) comprising jaw (201, 301) portions incorporating gripping faces for the clamping of the desired workpiece (90), three pivotal handle (202) portions and a sprung toothed strut (60) positioned between the handles (202). A bow shaped resilient portion (408) or portions, incorporated within the third arm (200, 300, 400) portion, when the pliers are operated this resilient portion imparts a sprung pressure upon the clamped workpiece (90) by the gripping face (203, 303) of the jaws (201, 301). The third arm (200, 300, 400) and bend promoting portion are contiguous with each other. The jaws (201, 301) can further be usefully locked in the required clamping position upon the workpiece (90) by a toothed sprung strut (60) pivotally attached to the first and third arms (200) and conveniently being locked or unlocked according to the locking switch (500, 50) pivotal within the first arm (200, 300, 400).

A clamp mount and clamp assembly using a clamp mount are provided. The clamp mount is used to attach a clamp to a workbench or other support device so that a workpiece can be clamped to a work surface. The clamp mount may include a removable shoe. The clamp mount may include a plurality of attachment plates for attaching the clamp mount to different supports or different mounting features of the support device.

The present invention relates to a hand tool. More specifically, a rapid adjust multigrip tool having a first arm, second arm, linking mechanism and locking mechanism. The first arm is connected to the second arm via a primary pivot. The linking mechanism biases the arms away from one another. The locking mechanism allows an operator to selectively secure the first and second arms together.
