Industrial tittie twister
Not sure. The pic on my phone was somewhat small. They look similar to some of the pliers I have seen Ironworkers use to tie steel rebar mats.

Yes looks like airplane mechanics twist tie tool for the safety wire. Worked for a guy that flew execs for Marathon petroleum and told me all about his experience from mechanic to instructor to commercial pilot to private pilot etc… very cool little tool he gave me a demonstration of it.

Safety wire pliers.
I used safety wire alot in the military doing aircraft maintenance and such. There’s all sorts of rules on having the proper twists if i remember right. Been a while.
They are useful for other things wire wise too.
