Title: Diamalloy pliers EC54F - used for what?
Post by: amecks on February 28, 2019, 10:00:40 PM

Diamalloy EC54F small pliers with strange jaw shape.  What are they used for?  Photo against a 3x5 file card.  The inner part of the is just flat, no cutter or anything.

Channellock makes a pair similar they call "Long Reach" with end cutters. Maybe the EC5 stands fro 5" with cutters?

Thanks!  I didn't realize the end was a cutter.  Should be useful.
