This from a friend who I showed the pic
I tried to get onto the forum but ran out of time, the inner section with the eyelets each side of the pliers were used to compress springs to be tied prior to being inserted and again the tip of the pliers was used to release springs from small calliper type installs, they were used a lot in small boilers and small piston engines etc. my Dad has them and I remember him using them 50 plus years ago.

I've found it in one of the catalogues I have put online:
http://kataloge.holzwerken.de/zkatal..._Seite_189.jpg
The full catalogue can be found here: Werkzeugkataloge
The German name is "Splintenziehzange mit Drahtschneider und Mutterschlüssel", which translates to something like "split pin puller with wire cutter and nut spanner".

I have spent a number of days over the last few weeks undergoing mouth, dental, jaw surgery waiting for news on bone grafts and, with the way my mouth and nose feel at the moment, whatever this tool is at least 6 surgeons with 1 in each hand have recently been bumping around in my mouth!

Sorry to hear all that. I trust you are able to take alcohol for medicinal purposes?

You've nailed it (or should I say pinned it?)
I am not sure the catalogue explained what the two circular pieces were inside the tip of the jaws. Most people thought they looked like a device for crimping two piece eyelets. Nevertheless your evidence is indisputable.

Alan,
Ouch, sorry to hear about your misfortune. Hopefully you're on the mend.
Cheers,

Sorry for the hijack '62.
Yes, all OK now thanks. It was self inflicted, I had let a dental problem go TOO far.

Great research to find the answer
Now we know what it is, would the two pins in the jaw be used to grip the split pin in the eye of the pin to extract itThe person who never made a mistake never made anything
Cheers

This does not help. Link or picture makes no difference, when the picture is gone. Uploading pictures to the forum is better.
