What are these pliers for?

Hello
Wondering what these pliers are for. In the first picture it is the pair on the right.
Thanks in advance

Cool. I love unique pliers. Twisting wire maybe? Seems like they would be good at gripping wire (or something with a similar cylindrical shape) held perpendicular to the pliers.

Maybe for roll pins? You could squeeze them closed and tap them in with a hammer.

They would hold a nail too.

Now that KnurledNut has solved that mystery I'm curious what the other pair of pliers are for!

Why do you need a specially designed pair of pliers for holding a nail?
Regular needle nose pliers, or flat nose pliers usually work fine.
As do needle nose vise grips.

I wondered the same thing. There are all sorts of ridiculous nail holding gadgets..... for those who shouldn't be allowed to use a hammer if they need to rely on them.

Thanks KnurledNut - I would have never guessed.
I am in Canada and knew that Benchmark is a Home Hardware store brand (like True Value or Ace I suppose) but I would have never have guessed their purpose.
Here is a Reddit link about them - https://www.reddit.com/r/toolporn/comments/8wxoij
