This invention is a novel improvement in pliers, tongs, tweezers, and the like, such as shown in U. S. Letters Patent No. 1,772,428 issued to me on August 5, 1930; and the objects of the invention are broadly to provide improved means for automatically locking the jaws in engagement with the work in any position of the handles; also to provide manually operable means for releasing the locking means when it is desired to open the locked jaws; also means for maintaining the releasing means ineffective; also to provide a combination tool of the plier type carrying on one of the .handles a pivoted hammer head adapted to be swung from inoperative position between the handles into various operative positions with respect to the axis of the .tool and retained in such; position thereby permitting the tool to be used as an ordinary hammer when the handles are drawn together and locked. A further object is to provide a combined reamer, pliers, wire-cutter, screw driver and hammer into a single compact, substantially symmetrical, tool.
