seldom (dick renker) Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 could be a wire stretcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnut Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I'm only guessing but it looks like something you'd use on a fence. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshj Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 ^all of the above is what I was going to say. It looks to me like a tool used to stretch, twist and run old school baling, or barbed wire fencing. The four holes would let you clamp around four wires, close and pull all four to run along a fence line. The wheel would let you pull it around a post under tension? And the spike in the back you could step on into the ground to hold tension on clamped wire, or even hammer into a tree. I've seen more modern versions of wire tools that have similiar features, but not like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar.esq Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I wonder if a pin could be put in those notched holes to incrementally stretch a line over that bobbin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
