ABSTRACT:
A hand guard is provided for use in combination with locking pliers having mutually hinged main and operating handles which are movable between opened and closed positions. It comprises a protective sleeve for conformable reception enveloping the mid-sectors of the locking pliers. The protective sleeve includes first and second opposed spaced apart panels and upper and lower opposed spaced apart panels for receiving the main and operating handles therebetween. The protective sleeve is of resiliently stretchable material such that when the locking pliers are in the closed position, the upper panel conformingly engages the main handle and the lower panel conformingly engages the operating handle and the first and second panels are substantially planar, extending, respectively, between the upper and lower panels, and when the locking pliers are in the opened position, the first and second panels are drawn into a reformed configuration while biasing the operating handle toward the closed position. The protective sleeve thereby prevents any portion of the hand of a user from entering a zone of the locking pliers between the main and operating handles.
