That's easy. It's that tool we all use to button our Levi's in the morning. One side hooks the button, one side hooks the hole, and then you squeeze. If all goes well the front connects, and the back doesn't open to relieve the pressure.

Looks like a press to create rifle or pistol ammunition. The tool looks like it could hold different sizes of casings.

I remember seeing something like that hanging on the wall of that S&M club I went to once... said something about nipples on the sign below it.

It's a crimper.

It looks like a crimper for some kind of tubing.

Nope. Yer gonna be surprised, methinks.

Mehopes, anyway!

Maachine gun linking tool of some type??

I'm thinking it's a wire tensioner/connector. Maybe for doing barbed wire or cattle fencing of some sort. Looks pretty similar a tool I used for that purpose in Oklahoma (on Ft. Sill) as a teenager.

My first "real" job (at age 15) was with range control on Ft. Sill. We did a lot of fence work where the buffer zones and outer ranges joined with the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.

My dad was a Pershing Warrant and he thought some good hard laboring in the Oklahoma sun would be good for me. Who knew he'd be right. LOL

that should read, "Looks pretty similar TO a tool..." Sorry, sometimes the fingers outrun the brain.

testicle caliper for meeting cavalry entrance physical...

I have no idea what the holy hannah it is - I'm just hoping SWWBO doesn't use it to enforce compliance with Castle regs.

*...he says with legs tightly crossed...*

It's the original (1897) tool for packing Life-Savers into those foil rolls.

It is used to extract bad teeth from the Moat Monster. He has teeth like a shark's.

Failing that, it looks like a plier of some kind or a grip.

These were used back when cavalry still meant horses. They'd mash it down hard a couple of times, and if you didn't pass out you were ready for the cheap @#$ horses they used to buy.

Hmmmmmm
Upon further review, it appears that when you squeeze the handles, the thing seperates, so it must be used to pry something open.

Perhaps Damian's legs.

I would venture that it is a fuse setter for artillery rounds. Probably first world warish, and juding from the markings of British or similar origin.

Perhaps Damian's legs.

Possibly the only time in recorded history that someone of the opposite sex has suggested my legs need prying open.

linker de-linker for Vulcan

Me thinks it is thingy that you use to pick up heavy projectiles for loading very heavy artillery. I have seen pictures of look alikes in WWII pics of German guns

Sometimes a girl's just gotta dig in with both hands and get the job done.
