The pliers are a cobbler's tool. The wide jaw of the plier allows you to grip the leather and stretch it a bit, then you have the hammer face to drive the tack.

The other is a shingler's tool for working with wooden shingles. With the one tool you can remove old nails, split shakes to width and nail the new shingle.
