I have a very small set of button style pliers. On one handle it says "sure grip". I can not make out what it says on the other handle. Any help in Identifying them would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Ryan
Suregrip was a brand name used by Bridgeport Hardware Manufacturing Co.
The other marking looks like an owner's name stamp.
Those are "wire pliers," also called "slot cutting pliers." The smooth jaws are for gripping and twisting wire without the damage that serrated-jaw pliers would cause.
