Abstract
A pliers comprises a pair of elongated members having jaw portions, handle portions, and neck portions therebetween with the neck portions overlying each other and the jaw portions thereof having opposed clamping faces. The elongated members have oppositely arching slots in their neck portions and pivot pins which slide in the slot of the other member. The elongated members of the pliers may be fabricated as laminates of sheet metal with one neck portion extending through a passage in the other neck portion. Solid jaw inserts may be secured to the jaw portions of the sheet metal elements to provide the clamping surfaces.
