I begin to wonder how the devil they're made.

Assuming you're using an LCD screen, if you look at such an angle
that the
contrast is about to reverse, you can see the rivet through the halves
that's been ground flat ...

I mean how do they assemble the 2 pieces before riveting.


My guess is that the 'top' handle is put on to the 'bottom' jaw after
joint assembly.

Mine is similar in overall design, but there is certainly no sign that
the handle was ever separate from the "inner" jaw. I assume that the jaw
was passed through the slot when it was a rectangular section which just
fitted, then it was hot forged to make the jaw and finally machined
before the hinge section was located and rivetted.
