[Shop-talk] Tool APB: Rotating head pliers?

[David Hillman]

    I'm trying to find a set of pliers, that I'm fairly sure exist.  What I 
need are pliers with the handle and jaws offset by 90 degrees.  In other 
words, if the handle was oriented horizontally, the jaws would open or 
close vertically.

    I was on the phone with my father over the Holiday, telling him, and he 
says "Oh I've got a set of those."  He claims my uncle gave him a set of 
three such pliers, made by Husky Tools, for Christmas last year or maybe 
the year before.  As he described them to me, the heads actually can be 
rotated from zero to ninety degrees offset.  He was only able to find 2 of 
the 3, and not the one I need (long nose)... plus he lives a thousand 
miles away, so borrowing them is not convenient.

    This was a good lead, though, so I searched Home Depot's site, and also 
Google'd for such Husky pliers.  Both failed to turn up anything.

    Anyone know where I can buy such a tool?

    Thanks.
