After reading your citing of "Deals from the Darkside" as your original source, I thought I better check it out.

Although given the title I did think it might be trash. So I had a look on youtube...

But if you enjoy it, fair enough!

Point made, Jonathan.

What,do you think that a 50 year old, rather stout man, with a Mohawk, who is an escape artist(who barely manages to escape his death defying, non-life threatening exhibitions), who also happens to be a Goth, who goes around spending huge sums of money at flee markets and "private auctions," for torture devices isn't a good reference point.......................of course he isn't, but it served as an impetus for further research. It was a highly visible,easily accessible source for all to see and I noticed that after you watched the Youtube videos(one might argue another source of trashy entertainment), you started to refer to the tongs as "crocodile shears," just as our protagonist did.See,we can learn from lowly sources.
I conclusion, I wish to apologize to the individual who started the thread, for my participation, in detracting from the original question .

Your wrong....

I didn't see the one about the shears.... Is it on youtube? {only place to find your cited TV programmes.}

The term crocodile shears came from typing medieval torture equipment into google.

Sorry, but you err again.Steve Santini , the star of "Deals from the Darkside," a man to whom you have given more exposure to than the entire run of his 13 episodes combined, labeled them "crocodile tongs." I realize that you called them "crocodile shears," however you weren't calling them "crocodile anything," before you allegedly watched his video.You can find the reference to the episode on the "Huff Post TV;" posted 12/13/2012, 7:59 AM EST.
I promised that I wouldn't further detract from this thread unless I could contribute something tangible and so here goes.........their "experts," valued the "crocodile tongs," a much better description than shears, at $6000.00 USD; now before you get too excited, theirs had teeth, so maybe your toothless pair might be worth half as much ???

That's enough sparring gentlemen .

ps .As I said, got the term crocodile shears from...typing medieval torture equipment into google

No gladiators arena here; you know better than that. Just pass on to the next topic; this one has had it from you.
