1st Pic I know these are lineman pliers. But I was wondering who made them and if it's a good brand? There is a stamp on the pivot, unfortunately it's a poor stamping and not very legible, this is what I can make out...WADS__________

The ____ indicates illegible letters. Also the pliers are quite old (30+ years), have a black plastic coating on the handles and perhaps most interesting, one of the handle ends comes to a point.

2nd Pic These are slip joint pliers. They look like cheap offshore, but I'm not really sure. Any ideas? They are probably 25+ years old and all they have are the following markings which are featured on both sides of where the handles start.
33 Drop Forged

3rd Pic What are they? They are made by Trico, say "Pocket Size" on them and are made of some type of plasticy stuff. My hunch is they are spark plug wire (boot) removers?

Thanks in advance and sorry about the bad pics.

With regards to the lineman pliers, I do know that Allemagne means Germany. I'm sure monte would be able to make out the brand.

Thanks for the info. If they were offshore (read China) I was going to throw them in with some stuff I'm selling as I already have enough China(Mastercraft) pliers and the ones I already have are new and much more practical.

Turn your "macro" feature on; your pics will be much clearer.... that will help us id your pliers...

I've used before, with success, the batteries were dying and I was rushing to get the pics taken. I forgot which little icon pon the dial was for macro and didn't want to leave the camera on too long while I experiemented. I'll check my manual and give it a go with fresh batteries. I'll get some better pics up soon, along with some side cutter pics.
