A folding multipurpose hand tool including folding pliers and other tool blades and bits. A pair of handles each have a pivot axle at each end. A base of each jaw of the pliers is mounted on the pivot axle at one end of a handle, allowing the handles to fold around the jaws to a compact folded configuration of the tool. Each handle has frame side members with attached flanges. Elongate springs lie alongside the handle frame side members and fit around the flanges, rather than being riveted to the handle frame side member. The springs press against the base of a pliers jaw or other tool bit or blade, or a spacer, to keep each tool blade, jaw, or bit in a folded position or support it in a deployed position. Additional frame side members each include a flange and support a spring and one or two additional tool blades or bits. The pivot axles interconnect the handle frame side members and the tool bits. A special spring extends between the pivot axles and controls a tool bit mounted between the ends of a handle on a pivot on a frame side member.
