Abstract

An improved hand tool assembly includes first and second rigid members, each having a handle portion, a throat portion and a working end, the members being joined by a pivot pin in a scissors-like arrangement whereby the working ends are caused to move toward each other in response to the handle portions being moved toward each other. Each of the first and second rigid members is of a laminated construction which includes a plurality of substantially flat laminations, preferably manufactured from stamped parts. First and second molded metal jaw members are adhesively affixed to the working ends of the first and second rigid members.
