Found a pair of pliers

I found a pair of "pliers" down around Westport early this AM. If you can identify them I'll ship em to ya. Looks like they were in the water a few days, but still work.

The bottom pair are the ones I found. Top pair I bought 4 or 5 years ago.

The safety is different on the current model (top) Both safeties came off this pair when I scrubbed them down. I think they may have been in the water for a while. Pliers work good. as well as the 4 different blades. The scissors are toast as is the phillips screwdriver. The small tools don't want to move.

Send it back they're guaranteed for life. I keep one as a backup so I got something to use while the other is gone. I beat the snot out of mine every day and have for like 15 years now. Best tool out there.

Actually I should rephrase that..their guarantee is for 25 years...I figure about at the end of my life
