Default What are these pliers designed for?

One problem with this tool is the lack of leverage because the fulcrum
is too close to the center and that may be why we don't see many. The
handles could have been longer. Mine have a claw for pulling tacks and
screw driver but screw driver blade tip is twisted because the metal
must be too soft.

I find this a common problem with multi purpose tools. They might work
for several possible uses but only poorly and too poorly made to do
anything well except extract money from pockets.
