I believe Mr. ARDUINOSvsEVIL refers to them technically as nut fuckers.
I believe that's "Thumb detecting nut fucker". Never come across a more apt description.
Nope. That's a specific variant with a hammer built into it. That is what my grand-dad called them, and he showed me the difference in some particularly grisly examples of well-gorrilla'd old toolery.

(No, because those are types of PLIERS!! Not to be confused with slip-joint, needle-nose, linesman, etc!)
Never forget virgin (pliers), e.g. http://www.wholesaleengineeringsupplies.com/three-prong-pliers-virgin-pliers.htmlThis is a rather peculiar name for a Dreidorn-Tüllendehnzange.Yeah.... I was wondering that myself. Those do look suspiciously similar to rubber-band de-nutting pliers commonly used on livestock.
*realization dawns* OMG... these pliers are used to expand tight sleeving used for cabling work. Hence the "colorful term of endearment" referring to the phrase "tight like a virgin".

Sorry, you posted and I thought I was responding to the previous one. As confused as a squirrel an a nut factory.

I suspect the type of nuts they make in factories would have little appeal to a squirrel.

Now that's a good idea. Was going to ask about that. Assuming it won't melt out of the gaps when it gets warm though. A thing I used to do at school was melt the things on a radiator
Can you guys stop holding sousages in from of my nose...

Thanks for the belly laugh... I needed it.
However, only the ones made with a hammer portion on purpose are properly called a Thumb-Detecting Nut-fucker.

Don't you think that being overly precise in "comedy names for tools" is perhaps a tad pedantic? (Rhetorical question)
Evidently this (and many other such special "terms of endearment" for certain tools) was a "thing" among old-timers like him. Who am I to judge...? But I do feel somewhat honor-bound to pass on that "knowledge".
