John Morris Posted September 7, 2020 Report Posted September 7, 2020 "What's It" Basic Rules Reminder For a full run down on this project and rules please go to: "The Patriot Woodworker and MWTCA "What's It" project" Only Patriot Woodworker Members are eligible to participate and receive the award. The MWTCA only accepts a verified source to support your answer, so one should be submitted with your answer, such as a patent, catalog entry, tool book reference, or a respectable website on the subject. Do not let these requirements prevent you from having fun and submitting educated answers on the subject without verification, we can worry about references later. All answers are welcome, as well as healthy debates regarding "What's It". If a verified and referenced answer is not arrived at by the end of each month's "What's It" project, a random draw will be performed for a "One Year MWTCA Club Membership". Only Patriot Woodworker's who participate in this "What's It" topic will be included in the random draw. Additional What's It Rules Unless you are completely sure what this item is, please avoid "definitive statements" that appear that you are without a doubt claiming that you know what the item is. For example stating, "this item is called a "widget xx" used for "insert purpose here". If you are making a definitive statement you must accompany your statement with evidence or proof from a secondary source. An example of acceptable statements within the realm of having fun and educated guesses would be something like this, "I believe it could be", or "It appears it's made for this or that", etc etc etc... Ok ladies and gentlemen, we now have our "What's it" live and ready! The image(s) below is a MWTCA "What's It" image for you to research, and tell us all here in this topic post, just what the heck is it! Project Details The information provided hereon is all the information that is provided, no further information on this item will be added. Cal and FlGatorwood 1 1 Quote
Gerald Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 Ok an analysis our loud. The device at the bottom jaw has two sizes of slot and looks like it can be turned so it will fit different sizes of whatever it is used on. Thinking some sort of crimping tool to crimp the head of a bolt or rivet after cable is installed. FlGatorwood, HARO50 and Cal 3 Quote
Ron Dudelston Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 Possibly a tool to crimp the master link of a chain? FlGatorwood and Cal 2 Quote
