Castration pliers? Same tool used to put rings of rubber on rams balls or at least that's what was done years ago to make them into weather lambs think may be banned now?

Hellerman pliers more common name as already said.

You also get a special oil to go with them. Hellerman oil. Does not damage cables we used it on gas tight SWA glands to stop seal being damaged as it is pulled over the cable.

The oil is called Hellerine.

A bottle of this was gift wrapped as a wedding present for a colleague.

He was so very un-amused. His wife, a wire woman in the same company, was even less amused.

used to be called 'fanny stretchers' where i did my apprenticeship.

just remember never to leave them in your back pocket if you go to sit down, it hurts
