Title: help with an old combination tool please
Post by: Plyerman on August 12, 2014, 10:54:49 PM
Ugh, my eyes are blurry from looking through all of Bus's old MVWC auction photos. I've been trying to find a picture of this tool. I'm certain I've seen one before, but I can't remember where? It's a combination hammer-pliers tool, probably designed for fence work I'm guessing.

Measures about 11 inches long.

It has inserts bolted to the face of the plier jaws. Possibly harder steel than the tool itself? The inserts each have three "prongs" sticking up.

The only markings are shallow and faded. All I can make out is P A T A on the top and maybe E O R along the bottom. Anybody have any more info about this old girl?

First one I've seen but I can see why it followed you home. Nice one to research.
