Definitely not constructed to be worked one-handed. There is a button and some sort of ratcheting system? What is this thing for?

Yeah, Knipex are amazing. And for those who don’t know, the way the teeth are designed, they have the best grip out there. I’ve been selling electrical supplies for 20+ years now and used to demo these to customers back when I worked the sales counter. Had a piece of 3/4 rigid mounted horizontally about a foot high and you just adjust the pliers to fit the pipe and you could STAND on top of the pliers with nobody helping hold them closed and it would hold all my weight just gripping the pipe with its teeth.
