These awesome pliers are like a work of art.
They started with a pair of Utica 50 pliers at Tool Development Co. In North Hollywood California and produced this awesome tool.
The mechanism still works smoothly and the collar releases the handle when the twisting bar is pushed back in fully.
The tiny mounting welds on the front of the spin housing have separated but could easily be tigged back on if desired.
I will point those out in the photos.
Tool Development Co. was dissolved in 1986 so these can’t be very new and certainly are rare.
