ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose tool having a pincer-head implement which may be detached from the handles of the tool. The handles are provided with multiple implements, such as screwdrivers, files, blades, or the like, which are slidable between a retracted position, within the handles, to an extended position, extending outwardly from the handles. The handles may be detached from the pincer-head, if desired, when a handle implement is being used. Alternately, the handle implements can be used while the handles are attached to the pincer-head implement. Different pincer-head implements may be provided with the handles, including pliers, shears, wrenches, scissors, and the like. The handles are each provided with a receiver for receiving the free ends of the pincer implement, and the receiver may also be used to receiver socket-type tools, such that the handle acts as a socket, or other tool driver. Locking members are provided for locking the pincer implement to the handles and for locking the handle implements in extended and retracted positions.
