ABSTRACT:
A multifunctional pliers-knife (1) has two lateral sidepieces (10, 11) serving as a handle for the tool, a plurality of tools disposed between the sidepieces, and a pair of pliers having a first jaw (18) fixed integrally to the lateral sidepieces and a second jaw (14) capable of pivoting relative to the first jaw about a transverse spindle (40) at the front end of the tool. Means for locking the pliers in closed position include at least one locking element (4) disposed near this front end and capable of being moved in a plane parallel to the sidepieces between a position locking the pliers in closed position and a position permitting the pliers to be opened. The locking element has the advantage of being easily manipulated with the thumb of the hand holding the pliers-knife and is of sturdy construction.
