| Description: |  | The specifications claim the side-by-side arrangement of the handles makes for easier operation with less strain on the hand. The tool has a relatively flat profile and the pivot is finished flush with the sides.  The flat jaw surface closest to the pivot is to grasp wire; the remainder of the jaw faces are to grasp various sizes of nuts, etc. 
The patent appears to be an evolution and refinement of pat. no. 1,648,037 which was assigned to Wade. |  |
