What is this used for??

I like old tools, and I bet more of us do too 😄

Today pliers No 1:

OK, last time I used it was about 7 years ago...and it's older than 70 years.. What is it good for?

Putting threads on screws/bolts etc?

Alternatively, DIY circumcision.

I would like to see a closer image of the jaws and how the are shaped but from waht I can see...

Crimping tool to put crimps in sheet metal like you find on one end of heating ducts so you can fit one into another

OR

Tooth setting tool used to set the width of the curf of a saw. Every other tooth is bent out out from center to ensure the curf is wider than the saw and prevent binding.

Well, what did you use it for?

Do you have a picture from the left side? Is the lower jaw flat?

Could be a tool to mark the ears of livestock (example)?

Something to cancel paper tickets?

Wire stripper?

Definitely too small to remove the horns from a Rhino 🙂

Confession time!

I was just guessing.

I own and use a modern smalled version after I sharpen my hands saws but I had never seen one like Henrik had shared.
