I'm not sure if it's okay to post this, but I have no relationship with the seller or anything. And it's an interesting design of tongs.

Adjustable Tongs

    I've owned a couple pairs of those - I think they were an early attempt at Channel-lock type pliers.

    They look like a non locking vise grip precursor . .

    I have a No.2 (14" from bolt) 20" overall, and I guess a No.3 (16" from bolt) 24" overall. I've never used them and they just rest in a nail keg with the other odd sets of tongs waiting for the right job to come along.
