What's the purpose of the two different style of claws? Do they use them for different tasks?

My father grew up in Newfoundland during the Great Depression and tells me that lobsters were something that poor people ate. Back then you wouldn't touch them unless you had to. It is only in "recent" decades it has become a delicacy. Edit: his family were not rich; they ate lobster.
