ABSTRACT:
A combination tool comprising multiple tool functions having swingable handles with shoulders formed integrally with the handles for alternately engaging two connected pairs of jaw elements. The jaw elements are biased open to a specific angular relation. Swinging the handles to engage a first pair of jaws allows the other pair of jaws to be used. Retaining means allow the jaw elements to be clamped closed against the force of the biasing means and held against one of the handles. This allows a tool included in the other handle to be more conveniently used and secures the jaws for storage of the tool. In one embodiment, the jaws comprise standard plier jaws, long nose plier jaws, a pipe grip, wire cutter, wire crimpers, and wire strippers and one handle includes a socket driver and scale and the other handle includes a storage compartment.
