ABSTRACT:
Jaw members are pivoted together such that cooperating working end portions of the jaw members are movable toward and away from each other. The jaw members have tang or butt portions extending opposite the pivot from the working end portions. Such butt portions are, in turn, pivoted to elongated handles which are channel shaped and define a recess between them into which the interconnected jaw members can be swung so as to be nested in the handles. The pivots connecting the butt portions of the jaw members to the handles are not coaxial but rather are mutually oblique in such a manner that swinging of the jaw members from the retracted or nested position to the working position necessarily results in spreading the handles relatively apart. Similarly, movement of the jaw members from the projected position to the retracted or nested position automatically swings the handles together. Mechanism is provided to interconnect the handles automatically when the jaw members are retracted.
