A pair of pliers includes a handle member having an intermediate portion slidably engaged in an intermediate portion of another handle member which has a rack located close to the handle end. A pawl is pivotally secured on the handle member for engaging with the rack so as to secure the intermediate portions of the handle members together when the jaw ends are engaged with the workpiece. The intermediate portions of the handle members have no slots such that the strength of the handle members can be greatly increased.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 27, 1996 and granted October 20, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 27, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 27, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
