We have many pairs of Utica #1300-10 - that look like these but are 10 inches long and a lot beefier. Ther were good at turning brass gas cocks. We also have some curved-jaw vise-grip type pliers bearing the Xtricator Name - and part number 7GR. These are essentially 7 inch long curved-jaw vise grips that have a round-bottomed groove cut in the center of each jaw. The groove is used to grip the screw head or broken off shaft. These do not seem to be made any more - but I find them very effective. RE Rob Says:

I am sure that they are fine quality... but I like to support Channellock whenever possible. I got all excited - I thought that they were made by Channellock.

Easily some of the handiest pliers ever no matter what the name. I’ve never heard these called screw pliers before, I’ve had some for years and they told me they are called gas pliers.
