Whale Tool Corp. - Pli-Rench
« on: December 14, 2022, 05:15:18 PM »
PIi-Rench by the Whale Tool Corp.  Patent #2489057, 1949.  Very similar to Vise-Grips these adjustable locking pliers have a sliding lower jaw to make gripping items easier. I picked these up at a local estate sale.

You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

Got one, very unusual mechanism, looks to have stood up to some heavy use.
