Default Does anyone know what these grips are called?

Tandy used to have those. I think they were just called parallel grip
pliers. Rather odd name but I gues they were made by some other company. I
wonder where mine went?
That is going to annoy me now. Very handy for taps.

We were in Italy over the new year visiting in-laws. They are retired
farmers, and there are interesting mountains of tools both ancient and
modern lying around. One of the modern ones that I rather liked was like
a kind of Mole grip, but the pivot/fulcrum/whatever could be moved into
four positions, a bit like a deck chair, and it allowed the jaws to open a
bit wider, and to stay a bit more parallel. Has anyone seen any of these?
