I don't know what the curved jaw tool is but I want one.  Looks like you could do some nice work with it.

The other tool looks like cleco pliers.  There's a slot in the bottom jaw to release the cleco? Cleco clamps are used in rivet holes to hold panels together for riveting.  I used them when building truck bodies.  Aircraft is another common usage.

I forgot to add that the curved one is marked Auto Craft Tool Stanford  Conn. I searched this company on Google but did not come up with much info.

I have got to find me some of those.  They look like they could be used to make a sheet metal project something special.

Yes, those are cleco type pliers.

I have seen those others called fender beading pliers also.

Hello, All. Here are some of the Cleco style pliers that I have. The one at top is holding a clamp for an 1/8" rivet hole. Second from top is holding an F-Style clamp for holding 2 pieces of sheet metal together for drilling. There has to be a slot in the bottom jaw for attaching/removing the clamps.  Regards, Lou
