"MAC" P-23 slip joint plier maker??

[Zrxrunner]

Any ideas on the maker of these little Pliers? I have this one labeled "MAC" in quotes model P-23. I also have a channellock style with a similar "SPEEDY" name on them out in the work van. Not sure if they'd be same makers, but just kinda odd to have more of a name, as opposed to maker in the tools. Both seem like good quality tools and speedy one actually has USA on it.

A picture would be helpful. Diamond made several pliers for MAC Tools at some point.

Oops, trying to do too many things at once.

I would guess Wilde on those... those have some age on them. The later one that were made by Diamond had "Made in USA" recessed on one of the sides.

Wilde made pliers for lots of different brands over the years.

Couple differences I see from the wilde made. These have diamond crosshatch on the grip. Most of the wilde have the rope style grip. Slider for jaw position on these is smooth with tongue n groove style pivot
