I call these pliers

[SandburRanch]

These strange looking pliers? appear to be specialized. Can someone tell me what they might be used for.

 

[Camallison]

Wire fencing, staple puller and wire cutters, is my guess.

Mine too.

You can see how they can also be used as a hammer for staples.

I believe that fellow that drives a Kaw to maintain fence would appreciate a Claw Hammer to tighten the splice.
