Bernard's Parallel=Jaw Crucible=Steel 



Pliers. 



A year ago we called attention to some new pliers 

 with parallel jaws, and their advantages over the 

 old kind. 



smaller^ the rtiedium size will cut No. 10, and small- 

 er; and the large size will take wire up to No. 7, and 

 cut it with ease. You can also trim off the end of a 



This cut shows the ilat-nose plier and the way it 

 works. You see that tlie jaws are not only parallel, 

 but the throat is open, so tliat the article you grasp 

 with them can be passed right through. By this 

 means you can make them answer nicely as a wire- 

 stretcher. We now have not only the flat-nose but 

 also the round-nose, and the flat-nose with cutting 

 attachment. 



wire, and sharpen it like a wire nail. With a set of 

 these pliers, in an extremity you could make wire 

 staples or hog-rings out of nails; and there are times 

 when the want of such articles is more than the 

 pliers will cost. The jaws of the small size open ^; 

 of the middle size. ,>, ; and of the large size, f^. The 

 3 sizes of each style are i)i, 5X, and 6}i inches long.

The advantages of these pliers over the ordinary 

 ones are so obvious as hardly to need mentioning. 

 They have a compound leverage 6 to 1, which, added 

 to tlie advantage of the jaws being parallel, gives a 

 powerful grip. Tlie cutting-pliers will cut any 

 thing you can get into them except hardened steel, 

 such as steel si)rings and music wire. The com- 

 pound leverage is so great that you will be surprised 

 to see how easily they cut; but if you attempt to Cut 

 hardened steel you will ruin them. They are fully 

 warranted; and, if injured in legitimate use, will be 

 replaced by the manufacturers. For cutting wire 

 they are away aliead of Button's or any other wire- 

 cutting pliers made. As the cutters have a chisel 

 edge, and on one side, you can drive a wire nail in to 

 within k inch of the head, and then cut the head 

 tf, which (-an not be done with Button's or similar 

 iers. The smallest size will cut wire Nu. 13, and 



with ordinary tools they are cheap. The manufac- 

 turers' name and address are stamped on every pair, 

 and they are f ullj' warranted. They are made liy 

 the Wm. Schollhorn Co., who have a wide reputation 

 fur their star brand of shears and scissors, and this 

 is sullicicnl guarantee of their quality. We shall be 

 pleiisi'd to sujiply them at the following prices; and 

 as we l)uy iheni in gross lots we are able to make 

 special prices to dealers wlio wish to keep them in 

 stock.
