Long nosed pliers were tool number 81 in the National Telephone Company's list of tools. This was carried over into Post Office Telephones, although the official description was pliers wiring number 2.

NTC came before POT and if you know where to look you'll still find footway box (manhole) covers with NTC cast on them.
