Nut pliers
Nuts can be tightened or loosened with nut pliers. The jaws are adapted to
the shape of the nut. They grab the nut on four of the six faces. Unlike
wrenches, the jaws don't move parallel. Sometimes they are ribbed on the
inside for a better grip and the opening can be fixed with a set screw. The
pliers cannot then be closed further than the screw allows, so that
excessive pressure cannot be exerted on the side surfaces of the nut and
thereby damage them. See also combination pliers. [MOT]
Obstetric forceps
These forceps were sometimes used during childbirth to retrieve a child.
Characteristic are the stainless steel, the wide jaws and the short arms.
After all, it was not allowed to exert great force on the head. The arms of
many forceps were connected without a pivot so that they could easily be

to the left and the other to the right of the child's head. [MOT]
Ore pick
The ore pick (1) is a hand tool used by dockworkers when unloading a ship's
hold or moving bulk cargo such as ores. Compared to various picks, the
metal is remarkably long (approx. 60-95 cm) in relation to the wooden
handle (approx. 60-75 cm), which is almost at right angles connected in an
eye. The pick narrows to a point, which is hammered into the ore to break
it free for further scooping. [MOT] (1) The proper name in English is yet
unknown. The tool was certainly used by dockers in the port of Antwerp
(EECKELAERT: 417).
