KD 472 cross link chain pliers

[ajchien]

Ok, there they were. KD 472. Cross link chain pliers at a swap meet for 25 cents. Now they're in my trunk.

Of course, I have no idea what application these are really for. School me please!

This is not mine, but it looks like this:

ajchien, those pliers were made by KD and they are for replacing tire chain cross links...I have several pairs that are getting worn out...They are no longer available from KD and the ones that are available that are made from all aluminum don't last...

If you would be interested in selling these I could use them...Please [email protected]

Or if anyone else knows of any small one handed ones about 6" long or have any of the KD ones I would be interested...

THANK YOU, larryd
