Topic: Tool Identification Help

I found these tools in a rolling toolbox that was in the garbage. Anyone know what they are?

I believe the plier-type is for spreading automotive battery terminals so they can be pushed onto the battery posts.

Thanks for the quick reply. We have a winner. I found a similar pair on Amazon after your suggestion.

Any takers on the first tool? It looks fairly old. Maybe for bending metal? It has teeth in the jaw only on one side.

The first tool is a sort of one-size-fits-all wrench, perfect for rounding the corners off nuts and bolts. Alligator wrench is the name I recall.

I agree with Scottly, primitive is another name for them...

Thanks so much!

But I don't really buy the sellers statement that:

The GMP Alligator Wrench will be the first tool you reach for when you need that "one tool fits all".
