ABSTRACT:
A foldable multiple function tool is presented herein. The tool includes a pair of members each having a gripping jaw at one end thereof and a tang at the opposite end thereof. A first pivot member pivotally interconnects the members together for pivotal movement about a first axis intermediate the respective ends of the members for movement between a jaw closed position and a jaw open position with the pivotal movement being about a first axis. A pair of handles are connected to the tangs for pivotal movement about second and third pivot axes with each handle being pivotally displacable between a foldable position and an extended position. The handles are spaced apart by a distance sufficient that when the handles are in their folded positions they receive therebetween the gripping jaws, when in a closed position with each handle serving to block pivotal movement of one of the jaws toward a jaw open position.
