ABSTRACT:
In a pliers-type tool having a stationary first handle and a second handle pivotally movable relative to the first handle, a slidable jaw carrier is movable along a rectilinear guiding track in a body member due to the pivotal movement of the second handle. The first handle is fixed to the body member. The second handle is in engagement with a toggle mechanism including a driver arm which, in turn, is pivotally attached at a stationary location to the body member. When the second handle is pivoted, the driver arm contacts, in a gliding manner, the jaw carrier and moves it rectilinearly in the guiding track. The driver arm extends transversely of the rectilinear guiding direction of the guiding track. Forces acting through the driver arm in the direction transversely of the rectilinear direction of the guiding track are prevented from affecting the movement of the jaw carrier. The second handle can be connected to the first handle by a connecting link.
