They look like a regular old pair of bent needle nose pliers that have been modified with a grinder a little heat to me. Ten bucks and ten minutes at a bench grinder and a vice would give the same result.

I have all sorts of modified tools like that for specific jobs.

As far as the leverage thing goes, throw a thin piece of wood or plastic behind them at the fulcrum.
