Maybe when I had my wisdom teeth removed they left my dumb teeth in, but
I don't see how your post answers the OP's question.

To the OP, can you read the name on those pliers and see if Google gives
you a clue?

It was mentioned on another newsgroup, but didn't have a link to the
photo. The message was marked read, and deleted, so I couldn't reply to
it. The originals at Fair Radio were less than some dealers want for
bad photocopies.

What is the exact wording for the patent date?

Either that or a close up photo of that area. I can't quite
make out the numbers and didn't find anything guessing at
them...

Thanks for the find. I can't find the tool as I stashed it somewhere
but it'll showup. These are pretty small and I assume he meant to make
larger ones except that he mentions it being a safe pocketable tool.
There's a U shaped slot which is a wire cutter that I didn't see
mentioned in the patent.
Anyone have a bigger pair?

To be truthful, not much work with the actual patent
number...

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.

My experience is that the more things a tool does, the less things it
does well...

Multi-purpose tools are okay if used properly. I've had good
luck with my Leatherman Original. Sure beats going down
several floors, through security doors, to the service truck
and then back just to get a screwdriver to unhook a phone
wire

Now if I have to do some serious work, it is well worth
going after the proper tools.
