A flat-nose pliers (lat. "Ius ductile" = "real Hammer") is a tool , which increased in the 15th century when forging horseshoes was used.
It is a tong-like hammer that works the forged piece from above and below with the help of two striking blocks connected by a double shaft and thus flattens both sides.
The invention of the anvil made the use of flat-nose pliers superfluous, it is only shown in a few museums today.
