ABSTRACT:
Opposing jaw members of a hand tool are interconnected by a first pivot and have working end portions swingable toward and away from each other. The assembly of interconnected jaws is itself pivotally mounted on one or more handles that define a housing for the jaw assembly. The jaw assembly is swingable relative to the housing about a second pivot offset from the first pivot, between a compact, closed position in which the jaws are concealed and an open, extended, working position in which the jaws are exposed. A second handle pivoted to the first handle can be manipulated to effect relative movement of the jaws when the jaws are in the open position.
