    Help me identify this mystery tool

    We have this random tool in our shop and for the life of me I can’t figure out what it’s for. Here’s a link to the pics

    50 years in the lab never have seen this one. It might be a dental plier ask your dentist you might be surprised.

    They're crimping pliers for Hilco's discontinued "Custom Sun Clips".
