So, we got the cobbler's lasting pliers figured out. Thanks all! I thought you might get a kick out of these. Are they just a variation on the cobbler's pliers theme? Or are they an altogether different beast? They're about the same size. No name on them anywhere that I can see. I got them in my pawn shopping rounds today. You can pound a nail, drive a screw, pull a nail, snip or strip a wire, round a bolt or nut and open your bottle. What else do you need? Interesting to note that there are no gripping grooves on the faces of the plier jaws.
