Pliers with multiple bite adjustment options

A hand tool comprising:

• a handle assembly comprising a top handle and a bottom handle;
• a jaw assembly comprising a top jaw and a bottom jaw, the top and bottom jaws being operably coupled to the top and bottom handles to compress the top and bottom jaws toward each other responsive to compression of the top and bottom handles toward each other;
• and
• an adjustment assembly configured to enable a grip size defined by the jaw assembly to be modified,
• wherein the adjustment assembly comprises a first adjuster disposed at a distal end of the top handle, a second adjuster disposed at a point between a middle portion and proximal end of the top handle, and an adjustment rod operably coupled to each of the first and second adjusters and rotatably disposed relative to the top handle to move along a longitudinal axis of the top handle responsive to rotation of either the first adjuster or the second adjuster,
• wherein the second adjuster includes an axial channel formed along a rotational axis thereof, the axial channel having a cross sectional shape presenting one or more faces that extend along an axial direction, and
• wherein the adjustment rod comprises an interface portion configured to receive the axial channel and slidingly engage the second adjuster at the axial channel, the interface portion including one or more corresponding faces to engage with the one or more faces of the axial channel such that rotation of the second adjuster causes corresponding rotation of the adjustment rod while the adjustment rod moves axially within the axial channel.
