Quick adjusting multi-position pliers

摘要

A first member defines an aperture between the jaw and the handle that is defined by a first side wall and a second side wall where the first side wall, second side wall and handle may be integrally formed as a unitary piece. The jaws may also be formed integrally with the handle and side walls. The second member includes an elongated slot and a row of teeth. A pivot member extends along the axis of rotation and includes a tooth engageable with the row of teeth. The pivot member moves between a first position where the teeth are engaged and movement of the first jaw away from the second jaw is prevented and a second position where the teeth are disengaged and movement of the first jaw away from the second jaw is permitted.
