Description: |
This plier-like tool features a third handle between the two arms. Squeezing from one side will decrease the distance between the jaws, while squeezing from the other side will increase it. This allows this tool to be used either as a pliers or as a spreader.
Known examples feature a locking mechanism for the third arm, and are marked with the patent date and the name "GILMER". |
