Can anyone ID these pliers? I bought a vise and the gentleman included a box of cool looking tools. One is a Stearns saw set. No names on the other three Thanks
The bottom two are Lasting Pliers, used by Cobblers to stretch wet leather over a Last when making shoes. The block on the back is used to hammer tacks into the leather to hold it until it dries.
The first photo is of end terminals for light-duty guy wires. There is a split, tapered wedge that grips the guy wire/cable that fits in the cast part and the taper increases the grip on the wire/cable the more pull is applied.
