What is this Custom Eifel Plierench for!?
on: March 28, 2024, 11:44:14 PM
Hi, Long time Lurker, first time poster!

I have been collecting Plierenches for a while, and have re-read the following thread numerous times: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=47985.0

I recently was able to purchase a very unique plierench off ebay. This was the description of the tool:
"Rare Kind Vintage Eifel Plierench Pliers Wrench Tool Chicago Model T-262587.

The pliers came with the bag and these parts that I don’t really know how to use and if they really belong to this tool. I have seen many Eifel Plierench but never like this one.

The tool doesn’t have any markings just the number that I hope is the model number.

This came from a watchmaker Estate sale house so probably this tool has something to do with the watchmaker trade."

So I am super curious if anyone has any info. I attached 4 photos here, but I will post a link to a google drive folder full of a ton of images here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BTPk0eAAnnfg8jLqpWECxzgN-jCMSy5l?usp=sharing

The item came with a bag, that had a number of model numbers that are similar to the one stamped on the tool itself. These model unique numbers are also stamped into a bunch of parts that the seller believes are part of this. and i tend to agree with them.

   You already know more about it than I ever will.  So, I don't have anything to add.  I just hate to see a new member make such an interesting post with fine photos and not get a response.  Sometimes nobody responds because something is rather off the beaten path. 
   Welcome to the site anyway.  Nobody knows everything there is to know about everything, but it is a friendly bunch.  Best wishes.  Gary (IMR)

I had to look up what Plierenches were.  Very cool tool indeed.  I'd never heard of them until now.

I don't claim to be an expert on these, but looking at the extra bits had me thinking it was some kind of punch or crimper. 


We do have a member ( Yadda ) who has quite a few different Plierenches so hopefully they will chime in when they see this thread.

I'd not heard of these either, but a quick Google search led me to these articles.
