Another who what's it plier

[squonk 43,710]

Not something you see every day in your average tool box. 

 

( Hint), I didn't start using these until I went to work at the Hospital.

 

[Racinbob 11,916]

I know what they are but I won't spill the beans. Never saw the need for them myself.

Depends on what you working on. And who was in there before you! 

[adsm08 3,136]

I believe those are for securing crazy people.

 

Which would make sense why you never used them before starting at the hospital.

Something to do with oxygen system connections

How you people don't get these hints 🤔  is beyond me. 

 

They're people skin stitch clampers.

And judging from the grease, dirt and rust it's a very sanitary facility!!!

Works good when you need them.

@Pullstart - you ever seen anything like these used during your visits to medical facilities?

Absolutely. When nothing else can, these con du it.

There was a clue in the picture that made it easy to chase down.  A pair of those pliers might be nice once I get deeper into my construction project in Ky.

Or a screwdriver and linesman pliers. 

[JimSraj 511]

Are they used to install or remove conduit fittings?

[lynnmor 7,788]

[squonk 43,710]

They come in real handy when trying to remove old fan coils out of walls. Usually there is a handy box stuffed behind a pipe or wall stud with no room for the old hammer and screwdriver routine. I can get these pliers in at an angle and get the conduit nut moving. Haven't had to get involved in any renovations in a few years now.

[rmaynard 16,289]

I had never seen one of these until my neighbor died and I cleaned out his tools. He was an electrician.

[wallfish 18,052]

The only time you need them is when someone else used them to crank down the nut. LOL

But I can definitely see how they are very handy for the person dealing with those nuts everyday.

Maybe I need to bring them to PA!

I always thought they were nose hair clipper for 65 year Squonks. 

[8ntruck 7,772]

  Nose hair tweezers maybe.

I would have to put a Kohler twin on them if you needed to use them.
