Multi-Grip Pliers
Multi-grip pliers are slip joint pliers having a sharp pivot which
can fit into a number of openings in the legs. This gives a range
of jaw openings allowing parallel gripping by the jaws in a
number of position. The longer handles on multi-grip pliers
allow a very strong jaw grip to be obtained. However, care must
be taken not to exert too much pressure as this could damage
the shaped pivot pin.
