WTF Is This?

Hey tool lovers-I found this in a junker. Any of you know what it is or used for?

 

um...

 

It looks like snow

 

NO Picture yet?

 

a fish scale?

 

When you squeeze the handles together what happens with the 2 points up front?

 

Winkle picker for a Henway.

 

when you squeeze the handles does the hook spin? like for twisting wire?

 

The hook spins around several times each squeze.

 

i think it is for wrapping rebar in a form.

 

its a genital clamp

 

or for safety wire

 

Thought so... the only thing that comes to mind is some sort of loom, or weaving tool. I'm guessin'... never seen anything like that

 

That's just mean!!!!

 

Dont know what its intended purpose is but it would make a good titty twister.

 

In a freaking horror movie

 

Possibly for twisting twine. The front looks like it has a scissor action as well, which would cut the twine.

Farm use, if so.

Not sure how you got one of those over there. Its actually used to tell the age of male kangaroos. You sneak up to the largest roo in the mob, that's what a group of kangaroos is called and gently touch the blade section (warmed of course) on to one side of his scrotum, squeezing the tool together the animal will "flinch" slightly when the point touches and the pressure is right. Ours have measuring markers on the opposite end of the tool, so you see what that reads and that tells you how old the Roo is by the size of his testicle.

You are a sick man for even making up that story.

 

My guess... Is an old set of safety wire pliers for aeronautical use.

 

I am an aircraft mechanic. I have several hand me down safety wire pliers, that date back to the 50s. It ain't that. They are much more compact. I was thinking rebar tiers because, the tie wires come with a loop on each end. I don' know about the cutter tho.

 

That looks like a universal adapter adjustment tool. Saw one in a JC Whitney catalog.
