I'm gonna start this new topic off with some of my favourite "sweeties." [And Al, yes, your lurid imagination serves you well...there's no telling what goes on in the closet round 'midnight with these beauties

The first photo is of two different Whichter type lasting pincers. Or plyers, if you prefer. Both are US made as far as I know. The top pair is only about 25 years old and the bottom pair may 100 yrs. old although I have no way of knowing. I really like both pair but what you can't see in the photo is that the teeth on the older pair are convex ribs and concave grooves and the ribs on the bottom jaw fit into the grooves on the top jaw...and vice versa. I've never seen another pair like them.
I don't have any of the English style Whitchters...maybe some one else can post a photo if they have a pair.
