Two-stage pincers as hand-operated tools, especially multifunctional wrenches automatically switching between two stages and having a large-opening jaw and a high clamping force, comprising: a first main structure (1), a second main structure (2), a handle (3), a pawl (4), a first pin (5), a second pin (6), a first connecting rod (7), a second connecting rod (8), a first stop nut (9), a second stop nut (10), a first preloaded spring (11), a second preloaded spring (12), a supporting spring (13), a small pin (15), a second small pin (14), a third pin (18), a fourth pin (16) and a fifth pin (17). The two-stage pincers overcome problems of the existing hand-operated tools, i.e. wide varieties, inconvenience to carry and low efficiency.
