A tool structure composed of two pivotally connected handles and a tool head. The handle pivot shaft of the handles is spaced from the head pivot shaft of the tool head by a certain distance to form a double-lever structure for saving strength. A pin member is fitted through each handle in parallel to the handle pivot shaft, whereby the pin members can be forced to axially move within the handles. Each pin member has a large diameter section and a small diameter section. When replacing the tool head, a user only needs to press the pin members of the handles with a hand. At this time, the large diameter sections of the pin members are detached from the insertion notches of the tool head to easily replace the tool head with another tool head with different usage. The replacement can be completed without using any tool. Therefore, the tool head can be quickly assembled with the handles.
