A wrench/pliers as set forth in claim 1, wherein the “fixed jaw-post” and the “movable jaw-post” are used for securing the interchangeable jaw sets. 4. A wrench/pliers as set forth in claim 1, wherein each jaw set has two jaws, one is the fixed jaw and the other one is the movable jaw. 5.

It is convenient because a user only needs to carry one wrench/pliers body (it is obvious that transportation weight and tool cost are greatly reduced.); it is economical because a user only needs to buy selected jaw sets to serve his purposes (it is obvious that a selected collection of jaw sets is far cheaper than a collection of complete wrench/pliers which includes both tool bodies and jaws.) In addition, it only takes one step to engage the selected jaw to the tool body and only one step to disconnect the jaw from the tool body. | An improved parallel-jaws locking wrench/plier with toggle action includes a body element, a fixed jaw, and a moving jaw capable of moving rectilinearly by means of an action cam, which is pivotally connected to a locking lever coupling respectively to the upper ends of a fulcrum bar and a releasing lever thereof.
