Description: |
| "Reverse action" pliers with forked jaws to press against the valve handle and packing nut of valves such as those used on steam lines. The intention for these was to hold the packing nut in alignment with the valve stem to insure the packing nut did not "cross thread" during replacement.
People reporting these in their collections do not mention any markings that would help identify them. |
