Diamalloy Pliers
« on: July 23, 2016, 02:06:10 PM »
Hello, I found this tool today, but I am at a loss once again to find another to compare to. It is stamped DIAMALLOY DULUTH U.S.A. L R 58 with the horseshoe  / diamond stamp. I am going to call this a Brake  Key Pliers. Is the LR for lock ring? Regards, Lou
