are the slots for wire cutting?

Sure looks like it to me.

I've got pics of two very original 71 kits I'll post as soon as I move some files over to my new laptop here. Both had varying script size for the drop forged steel and both had the shiny chromed head pliers with the wire cutting slots.

How many kits does one need for one car anyway???:D;):D

The wire cutting slots are positioned in different places on different pliers so I guess the slots were at the makers whim.
