Yep, same here.

Yep, snap ring pliers...

Elastrator pliers.

 

[kyspartan]

my vote is for piston ring pliers, a little big for snap rings, and would be rough to use as a bander

Lisle 33500 Piston Ring Installer/Remover Pliers

Unfortunately you are all wrong so far.

Clue
there is a thread with an installation that this will help with assembly.

Ok it is a tool for assembling link type belt that has rivets to hold the links together

Robs link fan belt made me think of it this tool is about 30 years old and when you bought a box of belting one came in them.

I've used right angle snap ring pliers to assist in assembling the belting when I didn't have these pliers available.

I have never worked on a link belt... roller chain, conveyer chain, but not that... Good one!!

Who knew? I saw Robs thread and have never used this type of belting either. I didn't know it required a tool.
