Cresent wrenches and 1/2" ratchets are the only tools ever made that are acceptable to use as a hammer! 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found a pair of them when cleaning out my great grandparents place a couple of years ago after they had both passed away. Didn't have a clue what they were when I found them but google helped me out! I'll be up shortly to collect 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,259 #10 Posted December 24, 2020 They resemble a farriers pliers used for clinching horseshoe nails. This was my thinking until I googled. Don't hurry for the cobbler. I just pruned the fruit trees and won't have peaches till September. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
