Maybe not your vendor of choice but pictures to get the discussion going ...
does what you need look anything like these and if not what modifications
would need to be made to make them work?

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