Kenyo
« on: October 16, 2013, 08:04:01 PM »
Got a pair of pliers that the only legible letters are KENY O.
Don't know if this helps but anybody have a clue what these letters are?

Kentool?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

What kind of pliers are they?
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

If you stare at the close up long enough, it looks like it may be KENYON.

I find myself wondering if it's some small Asian maker of pliers.

Kenyon seems to be a  branding used by midwest rake co, but they seem to mostly make gardening tools, pliers don't seem right somehow...

I googled Kenyon Pliers and found this.  It doesn't tell us much about the company, but yours is not the only one in the world.  Grainger has some special long T handled new wrenches by Kenyon.
