Dave51B Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Any clues on this tool? There are no identifying marks on it. It is some kind of hand anvil, I guess. The top swinging piece does have a bit of mushrooming from being hammered. It has been through the local coffee shop and shown to some old geezers. But still lacks a positive ID.

Daswulf Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'd venture a guess at some sort of crimping or rivet setting tool? Looks like it could be set into something else or chucked in a vise with that square section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'm guessing some kind of hand vise for a specific, repetitive task. Part in, thunk with hammer to secure, perform operation, thunk to release, repeat. The brighter of the two hex head bolts looks to me like a replacement.

Frosty Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Nice, I'd call it a hand vise with a cam lock. I'll have to save the pics in case I ever need one, should be easy enough to make a version. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 My first thought was a saw set of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave51B Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Yes the brighter bolt is a replacement. The square piece it is holding has a small locator pin to stop rotation. I think a saw set would need an indention for the "set"? This tool may remain a mystery tool.......Thanks Guys Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Shears Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) My two cents (best guess) on this is a saw set for the teeth of two person cross cut saws. The teeth on those saws are usually about 2" long on a new saw. Edited October 6, 2018 by Don Shears Additional information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
