I have a pair I would part with. Someone suggested that blacksmith's like them because you can easily clamp a railroad spike in one while you beat on it. I tried it and they were right.

If someone is interested, I am reasonable. Just shoot me an offer and your zip code so we can figure out what shipping would be.

   I have a pair of these also.  I believe they are marked BESCO Giant Battery Terminal Pliers(or maybe it was Lifter) I'm not at home where I can look at them.  I like the blacksmith idea, re-purpose something that is basically obsolete.

Hey, I'm basically obsolete, and I still work....

And the way my 401K looks, I'll be working for years.....

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
