A folding utility tool has a handle consisting of a first side and a second side spaced apart by a plurality of spacers. The area between the first side and the second side of the handle provides a first recess within the handle above the spacers and a second recess below the spacers. A pair of pivots, one at each end of the handle, allow a plurality of tools to be pivoted from a nested position between the handles to an extended position beyond the handles. The tools may include such conventional devices as knife blades and screwdriver-can opener blades. At least one of the tools, however, is a pair of locking pliers having a first jaw and a second jaw pivotable about one of the pivots. The first jaw is lockable in an extended position while the second jaw is adjustable and pivots about the same pivot point as the first jaw. An actuation lever and a reaction member provide an over-center mechanism to allow the pair of pliers to be locked with one jaw in a given position relative to the other jaw. The actuation lever has an adjustment mechanism which allows this relative position to be preadjusted for grasping various objects.
