ABSTRACT:
A hand tool provides a slender elongated shape having a pair of finger actuation plates, one of which drives an interior rod. The end of the tool is adapted with a fixed jaw and a movable jaw attached to the interior rod. With the tool held in the manner of a pencil, the thumb and first finger are in position for moving the actuation plates so as to produce corresponding motion in the jaws. The tool allows the sensitive motion and tactile feedback inherent to the fingers to be transferred along the length of the tool for grasping, cutting and other useful actions.
