Crescent G-18 pliers

[Junkdrawer Dog]

I have a pair of the above. At first they looked like any of the other Crescent or CeeTeeCo pliers I've used. But these are a semi flush joint design that I've never seen. One side is flush. The nut side has a full thickness nut with 3 point staking. Most of these pliers have a raised rivet head and a low profile nut with 2 flats. I've looked on Alloy Artifacts and Ebay. Didn't see anything like them. Don't care what they're worth. Just wondered if anyone else had ever seen a pair like this.

I've seen a flush type pivot head like this on a Craftsman WF 45372 slip joint pliers. Only one beside yours I've ever seen. The nut on the other side was not struck like that. The jaws were "lobster claw" style.

Forged Steel Products Corp pliers were similar.

What is 3 point staking do? I see the three lines on the nut but I have no clue what they are for.

It swages the nut tight on the threads so it won't back off.
