Anyone know what this is used for?

I would guess that those are the second most common type of Weed tire chain pliers that I see (out of several different types). They were probably made by McKaig-Hatch. I will try to look up the patent number if Rusty does not beat me to it.
EDIT: The patent number is 1698474; Jan 8, 1929.
Here is a picture of three other types of tire chain pliers. Based on just my gut feel from having a bunch of these over the years, I would say that I have had more of the Weed ones (top one in picture), then the McKaig-Hatch 2nd most, then the St. Pierre (bottom one in pic below), and then the J.N.M. ones last. Does anyone know of any other variations?
