A hand tool includes a handle assembly, a jaw assembly, a clamping assembly, and an adjustment assembly. The handle assembly may include a first handle and a second handle that each have a proximal end and a distal end. The jaw assembly may include a first jaw and a second jaw. The first jaw may be pivotally attached to a proximal end the first handle and the second jaw being pivotally attached to a proximal end of the second handle. The clamping assembly may be configured to enable the first and second jaws to be locked at a selected distance from each other in a locked position. The adjustment assembly may be disposed at an intersection of the jaw assembly and the handle assembly. The adjustment assembly may be configured to enable the selected distance to be modified.

Pliers

Dual-mode adjustable pliers include a first handle member including a first handle and a first jaw and a second handle member including a second handle and a second jaw. The pliers may also include a channel disposed in the first handle member and an adjustable pivot affixed to the second handle member and disposed within the channel. The pliers may also include a movable mode selector member. In an engaged position, the mode selector member is engaged with both the first handle member and the second handle member, and, as the second handle is moved towards the first handle, the adjustable pivot moves within the channel. In a disengaged position, the mode selector member is not engaged with both the first handle member and the second handle member, and, as the second handle is moved towards the first handle, the adjustable pivot maintains a position within the channel.
