Peeb Hi,

Any kind of history about the Kaytule co. being from overseas I do not know anything about them. Do you have any knowledge that you can share about that tool co. with us.

Thanks again and as always fantastic find.

They look very similar to Bernard parallel jaw pliers.

I like the addition of a spring.

Funny thing you mentioned those very pliers because I thought the very same thing the moment the op showed us those pliers.

The british tool maker most known for parallel jaw pliers in Maun Industries. Maun uses the same type of serration on their pliers. Maun has also made parallel pliers for other tool companies such as CS Osborne in the USA. It wouldn't surprise me if those were also manufactured by Maun. I've never heard of Kaytule. Maun has a website but it's down for redesign at the moment.

I have a similar set I inherited with an additional groove running down the centre of one jaw. I've always used them changing tips on the MIG welder, never for much else as I haven't found what they work well for. I'm not sure why my grandfather had them, he was a linesman in the signal corps but worked an office job after the war.

EDIT found the answer
The pair I have has sidecutters. The groove was to slide wire through between the handles and the wire could be clamped in the v-groove for pulling without damaging the wire.

I do appreciate your kindness.
