Nice haul.  What are the slip-joint pliers?  They have an unusual handle shape.

Good eye as usual AL.  I assume you are talking about the pliers in the center.   Those are Plomb 2236 6 inch Wrench Pliers. I attached a screen print from the Plomb Tools 15A catalog. They are more like channel locks with three positions.

That is cool.  Nice Superrench also.  I am picking up Superrenches whenever available (and affordable).

The estate sale stated "digger garage"  and it was.  I found one box that was probably flooded in Allison, Harvey, or Ike.  I picked all the descent tools in that box that were left.  The Plomb pliers were in that box and so heavily rusted I couldn't read the maker.  I thought it said West Germany. I'll provide a before and after next week.

They look very much like Wilde pliers out of KCMO.  Wilde used a rope-like handle grip.
