Looks like hog ring pliers for upholstery. Probably just thrown in with bonsai tools if thats what you bought.

Unrelated really....but you remind me of a friend of a friend who had an off-the-books diesel truck shop in his old barn, on an old farm he bought.
The neighbors downwind, complained to the county about the smell of diesel exhaust and fuel during the daytime.
The law came and shut him down.
Neighbors smelling clean air again....

So the guy filed all necessary paperwork and created a small pig farm on his property, fully above board.

Neighbors smelling pig turds all day and night now....sweet soft revenge story.
