Never saw a set before, but if you are like me, you are alway wrestling with the chains in about 6" of snow, cussin' and carrying on for not putting them on before. Sure would be handy.

Yes I have a set, newer though. The pincer side is used for opening the cross chain so that it can be replaced when broken. The the other side closes it.

So this is for repairing broken chains ?? Now, that makes more sense. I couldn't see how to use them to install... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Definitely for repairing tire chains. I just used a set to modify some old truck chains to fit my tractor.

Very interesting to find out what they are used for.
