Abstract:
A tool comprising:(a) a pair of grips coupled one to the other in pivotally displaceable manner about a grip pivot axis, each said grip including a fixing pin extending in a direction parallel to said grip pivot axis, at least a portion of said fixing pin having an oblong sectional contour defined by transversely related long and short dimensions; and,(b) a tool head releasably coupled to said grips, said tool head including a pair of clamping members coupled one to the other in pivotally displaceable manner about a pivot axis offset from and parallel to said grip pivot axis, each of said clamping members having formed at an end portion thereof an insertion notch coaxially engaging said fixing pin of one of said grips in angularly displaceable manner, said insertion notch having an opening defined by a sectional dimension less than said long dimension of said fixing pin but greater than said short dimension of said fixing pin for selective passage of said fixing pin therethrough responsive to the relative angular positions of said coupled grip and clamping member.
