A reader (thanks, Jared!) just introduced me to the Tsunoda WP-150D mini tongue and groove adjustable pliers, which has a screwdriver built into the handle.
That could definitely be useful!
The jaws also look quite interesting, with different gripping zones and aggressive teeth.

The maximum gripping capacity is listed as 1.6″.
Here’s a look at the slotted screwdriver that is built into one of the handles. It looks a bit coarse, which wouldn’t be bad, and also robust.
They show the screwdriver end being used as a light pry bar and to turn slotted fasteners such as in plumbing features.
One tool, two functions.
Of course I ordered one on the spot to check out. I’ve had some great experiences with this brand, and expect the same from these pliers.
Price: $15.75 (at the time of this posting)
COO: Made in Japan

They also have a bigger version, with 8″ length.

Are these Douglas USA yellow handle pliers? They were the gold signature when I got my start in the mid 80s.

I checked out some of their other tools and put their soft jaw pliers in my cart. Never would have known about these. Thanks

I have them and there really decent. There not cobras but work well in a pouch. The slotted end is kinda useful for prying on things actually. I had some larger 10 or 12in models from amazon japan never used them due to the spring like the fujiya. This is the one size I would consider useful for most people.

I have a few pairs of Tsunoda pliers and they are all fantastic. Really good prices too

That tooth grip style reminds me of Irwin adjustables.
I migrated to all flat jaw Irwin’s because the notched jaws were unforgiving on needing to be adjusted exactly(their adjustment also has a ton of increments) for every fastener. The flat jaws will grip as long as the jaws can open enough to get onto the fastener
