Abstract: An open-close work implement is provided, wherein an object can be easily held without being damaged by a simple operation of merely gripping or squeezing the open-close operation part (5) with the fingertips. A first half member (1) and a second half member (2) are intersected and pivotally fitted together, an open-close working part (4) is provided to the distal end, and an open-close operation part (5) is provided to the proximal end. When increasing closing force is applied to the open-close operation part, the open-close operation part flexes and a contact part (7) and a receiving part (6) come in contact. Even though the closing force is further increased while the receiving part and the contact part are in a state of contact, the closing force is not transmitted to the open-close working part, and the holding force of the open-close working part does not increase.

Abstract: An open-close work implement is provided which an operator does not need to operate carefully while adjusting closing force applied to an open-close operation part by delicately increasing or reducing the closing force, wherein an object can be easily held without being damaged by an extremely simple operation of merely gripping or squeezing the open-close operation part (5) with the fingertips. In the open-close work implement, a first half member (1) and a second half member (2) are intersected and pivotally fitted together, an open-close working part (4) is provided to the distal end, and an open-close operation part (5) is provided to the proximal end. The open-close work implement is configured so that when increasing closing force is applied to the open-close operation part (5), the open-close operation part 5 flexes and a contact part (7) and a receiving part (6) come in contact.
