Yes that is what those look like. Unless those are less than a quarter inch wide they won't fit in the square in a Honeycomb Radiator. There designed to grab a longer fin and make it flat again. Did you find a picture of the comb for the honeycomb radiator I was talking about in my listing? That was the point I was tring to make. If you were repairing modern radiators on a regular basis I could see owning a set. To me a pair of neadle nose would do the job nice and allow you to grab the edge of the bent over section pull it up with the tip. These would not do that they are designed to just pinch the regular radiator fins strait/flat again, not to reach in and grab the folded section and pull it up so you straiten it. My total point was they don't make a comb for Honeycomb Core Radiators like you said I should have used in your "FYI" Post. Since you haven't posted a picture or shown me that they make one I guess I was right and did not need to be corrected in the manner you did. You could have said they make a tool called Duck Bill Pliers that could replace the Neadle Nose Pliers, but then they were not designed for that use either on this type of a radiator unless you modified them first to fit in the opening.
