What to re-purpose these "pliers" for ?

[The Cobbler]

Got a bunch of these pliers at the volunteer warehouse. they are specialty medical equipment, used for cutting specific sizes. some of the dies are available but lots more pliers than the cutters . any ideas of a good repurpose for them? I think the thread is 10x1.5 mm

Punch out the roll pin and make a pin spanner? I'd be looking at picking some up but do as I say, not as I do and don't drag any home unless you have an immediate need to make a tool with them.

just to clarify, they are already in possession.looking for ideas so as to not throw them out . original cost was about $150 which is crazy
and they are stainless .

The thread on the thing that holds the die is 10mm in diameter? So the opposing plastic disk is a couple inches? Just trying to get a sense of scale

yes, the stud is 10x 1.5mm ( I think) and the pad is plastic approx 1-1/2" ish , probably leading to 2"

Make a Fancy @$$ hole punch, get some of these. Change the top thread into an internal.

I have a specialty set of rubber door trim cutters that holds a standard box cutter blade. They are super handy and I use them to cut rubber hose, PEX pipe and other soft stuff. Kind of like this.

Bump, for the Fall crowd!

I think he has the right idea, precision cutters and precision punches.

stainless, medical pliers?

Sell them to the local body piercing shop. I'm sure they'll find something to put a hole in

How about a paper embossing tool. You could probably have plates made or make them you self.
