More than just adjustable wrenches, post up your vintage Crescent tools

Found these at a local TOO yesterday.
They came out of the evaporust today. The original paint resisted removal on the handles.
I decided to give up removing the paint and repainted the handle area. I’ll see how they came out tomorrow.

I think they came out okay. Quite a difference from how I found them.

Crescent L26 "Thin Straight Nose Plier" (according to the 1961 catalog) - modified by a previous owner

These estate sale Cee Tee pliers were a little more modern than I usually find being marked Crescent but a decent pair of 8” pliers.
Cleaned ‘em up.

Ceeteeco shifter updated family snapshot.

Missing the 10” and poses the question if a 15” or larger was produced.

Adding a snap of the reverse inch marked side.

942 6 inch diagonal cutting pliers. Nice feel. The polished head and gun metal handles have good longevity it seems from the many examples.

Cresent 1/4" socket set made by Wright

I found these at an estate sale in Minden, NV on Saturday.
The longnoses looked better without the tape that was surprisingly difficult to remove.

Aside from adjustable wrenches, I believe this 1/2" drive socket is all that I have that's Crescent

Warning, going to go full nerd on you here! Lol
Having used my fair share of fence pliers back in the day, those plier jaws intrigue me. Every other pair I’ve used are ground to a single point for grabbing a staple to pull it, but these seem to have a square nose and two pinchy bits for grabbing staples with one corner or the other. Hard to describe but that might actually be quite a useful feature.
The pulling claw looks excellent, many of the newer ones are too big and clunky to get under a staple properly, but that one is nice and pointy and rounded, like an anvil.
The wire cutters, as is the case on a lot of the older fence pliers, are likely not a deep enough slot to cut two (twisted) strands of barbed-wire at once. Kind of a pain cutting each strand separately.
And finally the hammer head (as most of them are) is kind of undersized, but surprisingly the side face of the pliers do not appear to have been used as a hammer, as is so often the case.
(Also, that knurling on the handle is beautiful!)
