Abstract

In a pair of pliers where at least one of two shanks which carry jaws is built up of two spaced side-plates, is in at least one of the shanks a tapered section arranged rearwardly of a pivot point where the shank is attached to the other one. By the rearward location, which also allows a less steep taper, the tapered section is more spaced from the pivot point, whereby the danger of rupture upon heavy loading is diminished. Also the handles may be built up of spaced side-plates between which a stem portion of a protective grip with T-shaped cross-section is inserted.
