Post by: rusty on April 28, 2014, 04:26:01 PM

A confused fellow...

BHM *lost* the infringement suit by Bernard , and they were restrained from making any more...

Yup, nothing medical about those. And they do look exactly like the Bernards. I can see why Bridgeport would have lost the infringement lawsuit.

I also called them "parallel jaws" pliers.

I always called them parallel jaw pliers also. I've had Bernards & Sargent, they both look very similar. Never came across Bridgeport.
