I've always called them lasting pliers But Osbourne calls them lasting pincers as does Sellens. I think I'll keep calling them pliers.
Thats all good to know, I've just called them leathrr pullers. Or, when expkaining them to Mrs. Chilly, " those hammer pliers with jaws like a flamingos beak"
I never thought much about how important correct nomenclature was. I've been brain washed by my wife to be very open, as she has a lot of funny names for stuff.
Our youngest came by a month ago and thanked his Mother for setting him up for ridicule. He told us that everyone else laughed when he referred to tortilla's as "burrito skins."
So, lasting pincers, huh? I need to write a book with pictures and descriptions for her.
