A second handle is pivotably attached to the jaw mechanism and rotatable in a second direction opposite to the first direction. About a second pivot axle lying in the tool head plane, between a nested position wherein the second handle lies coplanar with an adjacent to the jaw mechanism and a deployed position wherein the second handle is coplanar with and remote from the jaw mechanism.The combination tool further includes a set of blade tools including a first blade pivotably received in the first handle, and a second blade pivotably received in the second handle.
