The Craftsman pliers look like horseshoe lock ring pliers; similar to a snap ring, but wider.  Many rear brake shoe posts have them.

Hopefully the picture I added will help identify, if not than I can get my wifes camera and get a much better shot
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

The far right one is a glass /tile tool the wheel is a glass cutter, then you line up the score in the "v" to break.

If you want it let me know, I do tile work on occasion but have no use for these.

The very last pair is for spreading something, and it has an adjustable stop.

Did a search on google for horseshoe lock ring pliers and they do match. It looks like these are the rings as well.

Ive always used a small screwdriver to pry these off, never had an issue do this, quick and easy. The tool seems to me that it would be more hassle than its worth.

You need to try one then. When kept straight they work like a charm.
