That's good.

I think you could improve it by drilling the hole for the steel pin through the side and putting the pin through on the horizontal. Then you don't have to grind the lower jaw at all, you just put the pliers on their side and engage the pin and pull. You can still use them as pliers, but have a pin sticking out the side so only one side will work.
