ABSTRACT:
The improved slip-type pliers tool includes a pair of jaw members that are arranged to permit pivotal movement therebetween. Mutually engageable surfaces are provided on the jaw members to limit the pivotal movement when the tool is in the closed position, to a position wherein the engaging surfaces on the jaw members are in generally parallel, spaced relationship. The tool also includes a ratchet dog located in a slot in one jaw member. The jaw member having the slot is provided with a series of teeth that mate with teeth provided on the ratchet dog. A cam located in the slot and connected to one of the jaw members is eccentric so that pivotal movement toward the open position of the tool causes the ratchet dog to become disengaged from the teeth on the jaw member permitting sliding adjustment of one jaw member relative to the other to open and close the space between the generally parallel engaging surfaces.
