Abstract: The invention relates to a hand tool comprising a first leg (1) and a second leg (2) whereby a front part of the respective leg creates a tool part (3 and 4 respectively) and a rear part of the respective leg creates a gripping part (5 and 6 respectively). The gripping part (5) of at least one of the legs comprises an outer part in the form of a sleeve (10) which is fitted over an inner part (9) connected with the tool part (3). Further the hand tool comprises at least one spring part (12) with a first freely moveable end part (13) and a second end part firmly held at the mentioned sleeve (10). This spring part (12) is intended to again move the legs (1, 2) apart after they have been squeezed together in using the tool.
