Trying to determine if this is an issue which needs addressed or not. Also, not sure that I'm using the right terminology on what is happening. When loosening a bolt there are not issues. The pawl locks in place and holds. When ratcheting back for the next swing, there is a strong...

Recently acquired several pairs of parallel jaw pliers, including these marked as Utica on the handle and U18325 around the pivot. I’ve looked at the catalogues I could find on line from the 1910s to the 1970s. None have this model number. They look newer, but I can’t find any information...
