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.

Any thoughts?

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)
:cheers:

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.

There are some YouTube videos that I didn't watch...

Found these, but can't have them big enough to be easy to read.
