Above are King Dick pliers from Dec 31, 1958. Some of the pliers have ABINGDON etched or stamped on a ground flat space on the side of the handle (these do not).

Above and below, some King Dick pliers stamped around the pivot with "ABINGDON" and "KING DICK". I rather like these with slightly narrower jaws for tighter places, serrated flat bite in front, serrated round bite inside, sharp jaws for cutting and stripping electrical wires, and also the heavy steel wire cutter indents on the sides. Thanks to Gordon Pugh for this picture.




These are "TW" pliers, period tools from a swap meet.
"TW" is the manufacturer's brand name "TW Superslim". These could be period aftermarket tools, but probably never original issue for the MGA.
