Anyone ID this tool?
« on: May 11, 2019, 01:24:44 am »
I was at a garage sale late today and they were packing up, this was in the bin to be thrown out as no one had bought it.

Its fairly hefty, even with a 10x loupe I can't make out the makers name. I don't have the slightest idea what industry would have used pliers like these???

The crimps run the wrong way for castrating

What a cool tool, great score Jim

Guess yours is mostly intended for pulling fabric and not so much leather, as those rough jaws would make quite noticeable imprints in leather.
