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 16):
A tool for grasping a workpiece, comprising:\n a first handle; a first jaw; a first workpiece engagement surface coupled to the first jaw; a second handle; a second jaw; a second workpiece engagement surface coupled to the second jaw; a first joint coupling the first jaw to the second jaw, the first and second handles being movable relative to each other, wherein movement of the first and second handles relative to each other causes the second jaw to move relative to the first jaw; and a second joint coupling the second workpiece engagement surface to the second jaw, wherein the second joint allows the second workpiece engagement surface to move relative to the second jaw; wherein the first jaw and second jaw define a working area between the first jaw and the second jaw, wherein the working area decreases as the second workpiece engagement surface moves relative to the second jaw as a force is applied to the first and second handles, and a torque is applied the workpiece.
