Nov 11, 2020 at 12:44 comment added FreeMan Well, with a fuzzy picture, that could have been a cutting edge... I understand that there are situations that would prevent keeping everything for sentimental reasons, but you've made me a little sad, now, knowing that you're selling your dad's tools. :(

Nov 11, 2020 at 12:37 comment added Mark Thanks FreeMan, there is NO edge on these at all for cutting and they are too light of a gauge to be snips. Snap ring pliers makes sense. My father was a A&P mechanic so that makes sense. I am going to sell them as such. Thank you for the help
Nov 11, 2020 at 12:34 comment added FreeMan It looks like a pair of tin snips, but the pic is fuzzy enough it's hard to tell for sure. The jaw on the right looks like it might be sharpened for cutting. However, the tips look a bit odd for snips. From that perspective, they look like snap-ring pliers. The device across the jaws to lock it shut might be evidence for snap-ring pliers - you get the pins on the nose into the holes in the ring, squeeze it together to make the ring smaller to remove it, then lock it in that position so the ring doesn't expand and fly off as you lose grip. Can you supply a less fuzzy picture?
