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 2):
The locking pliers of  claim 1 , wherein when the lower jaw and the upper jaw engage a workpiece and when force is applied to the upper and lower handles to apply a torque to the workpiece, the third set of teeth pivots about the second pivot joint such that a radius from the second pivot joint to the workpiece increases as the torque applied to the handles increases.
