Fifel-Geared plieRench

[Yadda]

Adding yet another variation to this (old but good) thread

This pair was specially modified and sold by Vector Electronic Co (CA) for
assembling ribbon cable connectors. The front side reads:

8 1/2" PLIERWRENCH
CHICAGO 40, 1LL
FORGED
PAT'd  7 62

(Yes Ill is stamped with a digit, but wait, there is more...)
The back is stamped:
VECTOR NO. P-83
FOR K-23 EDGEBORD
CONNECTOR

(Some poor fellow was having a bad day with the stamping machine ;P)

The jaw attachments appear to be brazed on (or silver soldered)

This is one I haven't seen before.  I will definitely add this to my search list.

Small correction- all Eifels were forged. The 1st 3 models the data was forged on the handles and the last 2 roll or die stamped.  The 7"  set is complete as it only had 3 sets of gears.  The 2 small screw drivers are also neat items.  Chuck Garrett

There is a variation on the screwdriver.  I picked up one from Australia with the  Plierench name on it.  It was stamped with the number 40 so I assume (maybe incorrectly) that it was manufactured around 1940.    I will post pictures later.

I found my other pair tonight.This pair has the straight cut teeth and is marked 8-1/2. It has a little minor rust a is banged up a little on one edge, but is easy to fix.My other pair are pretty rusty, but work good. They also have the angle cut teeth.The handles are much thicker than the first pair.I will be listing them both for sale this weekend.

To  It has red plastic on the handles and is marked add some info.  I just dug out my 7" Plierwrench to use and noticd the markings.  It is a late model made after Joe died and his wife sold the business.
