  • Patent number: 4271732
    Abstract: An adjustable cam-operated jaw plier wrench fitted with an integral, handle-mounted overtravel stop member is described. The integral overtravel stop member is permanently affixed to one of the two jaw-handle portions of the plier wrench. In operation, the fixed overtravel stop member's outer surface abuts the opposite jaw-handle member edge surface, thereby preventing handle overtravel along with its usual attendant injury to the hand of the operator during normal use of the tool. The position of the integral overtravel stop member will allow ready adjustment of the jaw plier wrench to any of its preset adjustable positions.
