Battery cable puller pliers

An improved battery cable puller pliers comprising, in combination:

• a first generally elongate and straight handle;
• a first generally straight pivot section integral with and extending from the handle at an angle in the range of about 100.degree. to 150.degree.;
• a first jaw integral with and extending from the pivot section, said first jaw extending generally perpendicular to the pivot section whereby the handle, pivot section and jaw define, in profile, a continuous member having a spaced jaw and handle connected by the pivot section;
• a second generally elongate and straight handle;
• a second generally straight pivot section integral with and extending from the second handle in a generally straight line, and pivotally connected to the first pivot section;
• and
• a second jaw integral with and extending from the second pivot section, said second jaw including an integral run transverse to the second pivot section and transverse to the first jaw, said first jaw comprising first and second spaced, parallel legs joined together at their inner end to define a yoke which connects to the first pivot section, said legs being wedge shaped and terminating with a knife edge, said legs being of equal length and being equally spaced from a center line extending from the yoke so as to be capable of extending on opposite sides of a battery post, said legs parallel to each other, said first handle extending along a line centrally located between the parallel legs said integral run of said second jaw also projecting along a line that extends midway between the legs of the first jaw, said integral run of said second jaw terminating with a surface for contact with the top of a battery post.
