Help me out guys....what kind of pliers are these?
How are they used?
I got these pliers today at the Wednesday flea market for a quarter.
The guy I bought them from didn't know and neither do I....so...I said "I'll give you a quarter for them and take them home and paint them purple with green stripes and place it on my coffee table (do people still have those? ;)) for a conversation piece!"
Oh yeah, they are made of aluminum.

I know someone here knows "what is it, what is it, what is it!" :headscrat Help...

Those are camping pliers. Used to lift lids on hot pots on the fire. The hook is used to lift the pot or Dutch oven by the wire handle

I think Mike is right, that's exactly what i was thinking, its like cast iron cookware pliers. Very useful if you've ever tried picking up a cast iron lid without some oven mitts you'd know LOL.

Cast iron cookware is IMO the best cookware out there, its heavy but it will still be around after you are gone. The key is to keep it properly seasoned.
