Weaver tongs

The weaver's pliers , also known as nubbing pliers or clumps , are an old hand tool of the weavers .

The weaver's pliers are used to remove foreign bodies (wood and straw splinters, protruding threads, knots) from the tissue before it rears up. The pliers are simple steel spring pliers with a flat mouth. The width can be about one to three and a half centimeters. At the end of the leg there can be a short tip that is used to pull out foreign bodies. Instead of the point, there can also be a sharp blade that can be used as a knife and as a retractor.
