A working tip is mounted to one of the operating mechanism and body at a first location on the body for movement between first and second positions. The rear handle is connected to the body so that the rear handle surface is in a fixed position relative to the first body location throughout the range of relative movement of the front and rear handles between their first and second positions. The front handle is connected to the operating mechanism so that the working tip moves between its first and second positions as an incident of the handles being moved between their first and second relative positions.
