I'm cleaning the mess I call my toolbox and I found this thing. I have no idea what it does. Squeezing the handles together opens the jaws and turning the T-handle extends the bit inside. It appears to be for piercing something.

It's WAY more useful than this tool: http://static8.businessinsider.com/image/4dbf216ccadcbbc554040000/barack-obama.jpg Beat you by 6 minutes

Quoted: What happened with the other "what's this tool" thread? The tool had two smaller pulleys and one larger, notched/toothed pulley that could be adjusted in distance relative to the smaller pulleys. I never did hear what it was, if anyone figured it out or knew. It was a device that put the alternating bends on saw blade teeth. These bends allow a wider cut than the blade is thick. My chain breaker looks quite a bit different than this one, if it's truly what it is... |

My chain breaker looks quite a bit different than this one, if it's truly what it is... Really? Was that confirmed in anyway. I have saw sets. (Set is what it's called when the teeth are bent to each side. A saw won't work without having the teeth cut the kerf wider than the saw) but I've never seen one like that. I guess that makes as much sense as any thing I could come up with. Must be for a band saw blade or some such that has a consistent width. That wheel would only be good for one TPI, too. Probably other wheels available. Upon thinking back to exactly what the wheel looked like, I see it now. Alternating wedges to force the set in the teeth. Thanks. |

Confirmed, the OP found (or someone sent him) a link to a collector type page that had his in with a group of others with the same purpose. |
