Maasdam seems to be a brand name used by a company that sells cable pullers, winches, jacks, and fencing tools.
That type of plier is routinely referred to as fencing pliers.
I couldn't find any plier manufacturer called Maasdam, and those are the only pliers listed in the Maasdam catalogue, so those were likely made private label by one of the German tool companies.
An almost identical plier is currently sold by Orbis. Orbis is a major German plier manufacturer owned by Knipex, that specializes in private label manufacture. I suspect those pliers may have been made private label by Orbis in which case they should be very good pliers and well worth $6.
The Orbis pliers sell for around $20.
