BERNARD Vintage Parallel Jaw Pliers Side Cutter Compound Action USA Hand Tool For Sale

Description:

BERNARD vintage parallel jaw pliers use a distinctive compound-action mechanism that keeps the gripping jaws parallel while opening and closing, with an integrated side cutter for added utility. The steel construction, multiple pivots, textured handles, and cutter design make this style useful for gripping wire, sheet material, hardware, and mechanical components. Pre-owned condition with scratches, darkened finish, oxidation, finish loss, and scattered surface wear from age and use. No exact measurements or functional cutting test are provided. These BERNARD pliers are well suited for mechanics, machinists, electricians, vintage tool collectors, and buyers seeking early American parallel-action hand tools. BERNARD’s parallel-jaw design dates to William A. Bernard’s 1890 patent, with cutter-equipped versions patented shortly afterward.
