What are these pliers?

I found these in a box of old tools.

Are they saw teeth setting pliers?

I Think (only "think" mind) that's a yes James. I'm only "fringe-knowledgeable" when it comes to wood working tools, but looking carefully at your pic, they appear to have the same function as my much newer Eclipse brand saw setting pliers.

But I could be wrong though - I suggest you wait until someone more knowledgeable comes along, e.g. "Andy - Tools n that"; or pity but I think Andy T no longer hangs out here; but there are others too.

Definitely saw setting pliers - I have one that I used to use years ago on B&D circular saw blades, long before the advent of TCT blades. I’ll dig them out and post a photo

I had a similar one I bought from Lee Valley many years ago to set the teeth on a resew bandsaw blade and for log crosscut saws. They are for bigger teeth than cabinet and bench saws. I wonder where that thing is now?
