Wilde 522 pliers


I can find #522B Wilde snap ring pliers online, these are completely different, maybe some sort of ignition pliers or something, There might be a missing jaw-closing spring between the handles. Wilde tools is still around making a range of pliers, prybars, punches and chisels in Hiawatha, Kansas. 


Thanks, Dave!



 
And a pair of Channellock-type pliers at another antique market.

That is a snap-ring plier and slightly different variations appear in older Wilde catalogs. This particular iteration doesn't have the holes for a spring but is otherwise pretty much the same:

Another brand I had never heard of but I'll check my boxes now and see if I have any.

Unlike the ones in the catalog these ones don't look like the tips are round to fit a snap ring?
