Abstract
A handtool includes a first element and a second element. A pivot end of the first element is pivotably disposed on a pivot trough of the second element wherein the pivot trough having a lateral breach. The pivot end is able to slide in the pivot trough between a restriction position and a pivotable position along a longitudinal direction of the second element. When the pivot end is located at the restriction position, the pivot end is hindered by the bottom of the pivot trough so as to fail to pivot with respect to the pivot trough. When the pivot end is located at the pivotable position, the pivot end is away from the bottom of the pivot trough so as to be pivotable via the breach. As a result, the present invention is easy to bend for use.

A handtool having bending mechanism, including:
- a first element, a first direction being defined by a longitudinal direction of the first element, the first element having a pivot end at an end along the first direction;
- a second element, a second direction being defined by a longitudinal direction of the second element, the second element having a pivot trough at an end along the second direction, the pivot trough having a breach on a side wall of the pivot trough wherein the breach is opened, the pivot end being pivotably disposed in the pivot trough, the pivot end being able to move in the pivot trough between a restriction position and a pivotable position, the pivot end being hindered by a bottom of the pivot trough so as to fail to pivot with respect to the pivot trough when the pivot end is located at the restriction position, the pivot end being not hindered by the bottom of the pivot trough so as to able to pivot with respect to the pivot trough via the breach;
- wherein an external wall of the pivot end is formed with a sliding groove, a longitudinal direction of the sliding groove is parallel to the first direction, an internal wall of the pivot trough is formed with a first positioning notch, a restriction element is disposed in the first positioning notch and is partially located in the pivot trough to be slidable received in the sliding groove in order to restrict the pivot end between the restriction position and the pivotable position, the external wall of the pivot end is further formed with a receiving hole, a first elastic element and a positioning element are received in the positioning hole, the positioning element is pushed by the first elastic element so as to tend to move outward, the internal wall of the pivot trough is further formed with a second positioning notch, when the pivot end is located at the pivotably position, the second positioning notch positionally corresponds to the positioning element so that the positioning element is partially received in the second positioning notch.
