ABSTRACT:
A pair of pliers comprising a jaw assembly that is rotatable relative to a handle assembly preferably through a full 360.degree. angle thereby permitting use of the pliers with the jaw assembly in a plane that is independent of the plane of the handle assembly. The jaw assembly comprises a pair of pivotally interconnected jaws each having operating ends and a jaw centering mechanism. The handle assembly comprises a pair of handles fixed to a conic member and a linkage mechanism including a collar. The jaw assembly and the handle assembly are intercoupled by an operating shaft that passes in sequence through the collar and an aperture in the conic member to the jaw assembly whereby upon closing the handles the collar moves the shaft longitudinally thereby passing the operating ends into the conic member causing the jaw assembly to close. The conic member and other components interacting therewith permit relative rotation between the handle assembly and jaw assembly whether the pliers are open, closed or partially closed.
