They use these in the tire industry to cut pieces of rubber during the tire-making process, using either a push or pull cut, sometimes both.

Bronze spanners for adjusting the tightness of a particular brand of bronze stuffing box. (A stuffing box, also called a packing gland, is the fitting that seals the propeller driveshaft where it passes through the hull into the water. It is traditionally filled with waxed flax cord, called packing, that squeezes against the shaft when the box is tightened. Correct adjustment admits a couple of drops of water per minute - any tighter and it can wear a groove in the shaft.)
