A multi-function hand tool with a pivotally collapsible jaw-type tool that
has a jaw lock which mechanically prevents the jaw-type tool from
collapse is disclosed. The jaw lock mechanism is contained within the jaw
pivot joint of the jaw-type tool, and may be partially extended as a push
button to prevent unwanted handle collapse. A plurality of blades are
pivotally attached to the opposite end of the multi-function tool and has
a blade locking mechanism wherein the blade lock is pivoted about an axis
located distal to the blade fastener/pivot axis. Each handle of the
multi-function tool may be made of two individual handle halves that
unite to form the handle, but that provide very precise tensioning, or
the handles may be of a single channel shape using an infinitely
adjustable threaded fastener and sleeve to provide precise adjustment of
the multiple blades.
