Abstract:
Pliers are provided. Pliers include an upper handle, a lower handle, an upper jaw coupled to the upper handle, and a lower jaw coupled to the lower handle. In general, the upper jaw includes workpiece engagement surface, such a first set of teeth configured to engage a workpiece, and the lower jaw includes a workpiece engagement surface, such as a second set of teeth and a third set of teeth. The lower jaw opposes the upper jaw such that the first set of teeth faces the second set of teeth and the third set of teeth. At least a section of the workpiece engagement surface of the lower jaw is movably coupled to the lower jaw such that it moves relative to the lower as torque is applied to a workpiece, thereby increasing torque applied to the workpiece.

Claim (Index 1):
Locking pliers, comprising:\n an upper handle; a lower handle; an upper jaw coupled to the upper handle, the upper jaw comprising a first set of teeth configured to engage a workpiece; a lower jaw coupled to the lower handle, the lower jaw comprising a second set of teeth and a third set of teeth, wherein the lower jaw opposes the upper jaw such that the first set of teeth faces the second set of teeth and the third set of teeth; a first pivot joint coupling the lower handle to the upper handle such that the upper handle is movable relative to the lower handle to move the lower jaw relative to the upper jaw; a second pivot joint coupling the third set of teeth to the lower jaw, wherein the second set of teeth on the lower jaw are pivotable about the first pivot and the third set of teeth on the lower jaw are pivotable about the first pivot joint and about the second pivot joint; and a locking mechanism configured to lock a position of the upper jaw relative to the lower jaw.
