ABSTRACT:
A locking plier type of device which is provided with very large gripping jaw surfaces movable into face to face apposition, with each being provided with arcuately curved rows of arcuate teeth or serrations which interfit with one another when the jaws are brought together. The arcuate teeth or serrations are angled so that oppositely directed pulls on the tool and the sheet metal clamped between the jaws of the tool tends to cause the serrations to penetrate slightly into the surface of the sheet metal to thereby increase the grip of the tool on the sheet metal. Platen type jaws on the order of an inch and three eighths to an inch and a half square produce quite satisfactory results and permit the exertion of very strong pulling forces on sheet metal panels of substantial size.
