Slip-joint pliers

[JackNate]

Ok I realise "slip-joint plier" is kind of a misleading title for a knife forum. Thats the only word I know for this type of plier. Anyway, does anyone know of them used on a plier based multi-tool? I've never seen it. I'm actually not sure if it would be possible without giving up a lot of sturdiness.

About the only one that I have seen has been the SpydeRench/ByrdRench. Not very wide in the jaws though.

There are the old SOG toolclips http://www.multitool.org/sog-tools/large-tools/sog-toolclip.html


I've seen some more plier looking ones, usually old - as in pre-70's.

Not the same thing but Vice grip makes a standard plier with a scraper blade, knife blade and hex screw driver holder in one handle.

There was an old Schrade multitool I had with a slip joint type plier head. You could set the jaws to "normal" or "wide" Unfortunately most of the blades were some permutation of "knife" so I traded it off for a tool with a more useful mix of implements

The pliers on Wenger SAKs are also of the slipjoint variety.

I guess the Leatherman crunch would take care of many slip-joint plier jobs when needed. Even the regular multitool pliers will work on nuts in an emergency, although might strip it a bit.
