Title: Utica No. 84 Pliers - Rare?
Post by: shopdweller on May 04, 2015, 11:33:35 AM

Hello,

I recently found these Utica pliers and can't find a reference for another No. 84 like them. I have a pair of No. 82 pliers and suppose those are quite common, but these?  I was wondering if anybody has seen these before. I imagine they are used for holding small parts, maybe pins, during assembly.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Bruce

Very unusual, never seen jaws with teeth like that on pliers before. I found a no. 84 in the 1968 catalog but the teeth in the jaws look nothing like that

turnnut, I thought similar to you, as they reminded me of pliers used in Oz to catch beach worms !?
