Plier ID

This might be an easy one for you guys. Is it a terminal crimper, broaching pliers, swedging pliers or what?

Possibly for wire style hose clamps we used to see on radiator hoses. I am surprised the experts haven't provided a definitive answer.

I've seen similar for marking birds but usually it's 1-3 sizes. Little metal band goes on the leg then crimped so it doesn't fall off. I'd assume these are the same but more versatile, the bird ones are just repurposed crimping pliers in the first place. Might be for crimping similar bands on braided wire ends or something so it doesn't unravel over time.

Thanks guys. I found out it's for musical instruments and referred to as "swedging or swaging pliers".

Good job. How did you figure that out?

Now, I don't remember exactly...what the hell!
