Title: No name pliers
Post by: rustyfordgarage on May 21, 2017, 10:19:59 PM
Wondering if anyone here has run across a pair like this?  They look and feel decent enough to at least have something on them but I can't find a mark.  Although I did get told buy a guy the other day, who had done work in the plant and his father was a sales rep for a local tooling co.,  that Estwing's blemished bin used to be free for the taking to anyone that walked by.  Maybe this was a similar case?

a photo of the grip design on the handle might help rustyfordgarage.

They look like a knock off of Kraeuter's design.

I agree they look like a knockoff of Kraeuter and I think they are Bridgeport Hardware.
