What are these players for?

[4carl]

I’ve been organizing my tools and came up with a set of pliers their spring loaded to stay open, but they’re not snap ring,
players.
I assume they’re for some type of maybe electrical connector that needs to be compressed on both sides. I know I bought them for some reason I just can’t remember what?
Not fun getting old!

Those are for removing plastic push rivets and trim clips.

Like Chipm said. Mine are made by Gearwrench and look just like yours. I use 'em for Honda plastic rivets, like the ones holding the underbody panels.

Thanks I knew there was a reason I bought them!

There's an angled version also. I bought these when Sears was trying to hang on by having countless sales/discounts only to drive themself deeper in the hole. I rarely use them & the one on the right I don't think I've ever used.

Funny, with my current job I deal with plastic push pins quite often yet I never thought to use them for work. Kind of forgot about them but still have no plans to.

Those are about the best tool I have for pulling the push rivits.

I like the Honda ones the most.

Not familiar with them... what do they look like?

There are two styles. The business end of them is the same. The other style doesn’t have the pointy parts on the handle.

The style in Post 1 does not work well on Honda pins. Thanks for the heads-up on the Honda tool. It a'int cheap, though!

I think that I paid under $30 with shipping.
