Unique Locking Pliers

[usdemt]

I bought a lot of hand tools for these pliers specifically. Looking for any info you might have including how to fix the two that aren't working well Included was also a few crescent wrenches and some cheap nippers. Thought you all would get a kick out of the these.



Large Lever Wrench. It does not seem to work right and I have not tore into it yet to find the issue but it appears in good shape.



Small Stanley Grip Pliers. Again does not seem to work right. Need to tear into this one as well





Old Peterson Vise Grips. In rough shape but still working better then the crappy new versions.



Leverage Tools. Works well as far as I can tell.





And this is my favorite. Sta Tite pliers. I have not seen one like this myself and thought it was a unique idea. In great shape as well




Grand total for the lot $17

Those are pretty basic tools and everything is there. I'd say pull it apart and hit the threads with some lubricant and a wire brush to clean out any rust/gunk and you'll probably be good to go. A few weeks ago I found a pair of vice grips that were buried in the ground. They were completely rusted. I soaked them for a bit and hit them with wire brush and wire wheel on bench grinder. While they aren't brand new looking, they work! I think you'll have those working in no time at all. You could probably just spray them with WD40 and they'll start working.

Ihave a pair of the orange ones.At some point they were rebranded by craftsman and those
Are pretty common at the flea mkt.They made a couple different sizes of those kinda like
Vise grip did.They work pretty good but the little thumb wheel adjuster seems to hang up on them,I would start with that.

Those lever wrenches are junk. I usually try and pick up any locking pliers I can because they're useful tools. I stumbled upon a pair of those in pretty good shape and decided, "Why not?" Well, the adjustment on mine is so minimal and takes so much effort. Extremely poor design compared to "regular" locking pliers (I.e., Vise Grips).

I usually pic up Petersen Dewitts when I see them. But I think I have a lifetime supply. Up to 128. The first picture are double stacked in the back.

And some bigger clamps and some special contract pliers

Has anyone seen something like the last pair? Very unique to me.
