    What Tool Is This?

    Mt inlaws are shifting and I have scored a few tools. As the father inlaw has alzheimers he does not know what it is.

    Does any one here know what this tool is?



    Dave.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    A crimping tool, hit the top bit with a hammer? Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I thought maybe it was to pull out nails/screws with a head and use the top part as a lever?

    bit like a claw hammer

    There is a marking E Ross & Sons on the tool.

    There is an E Ross & Sons Roofing Contractor in the UK. Something to do with roofing?

    It looks like a shoemaker's tool.
    The pliers pull the leather over a wooden last, the built-in hammer is for tacks.

    Appears to be too finely 'tooled' to be used in carpentry or construction

    It looks like the item jutting out is meant to be hit down to cut off something poked through the hole - or as Bob suggests, to crimp something.

    Maybe a swaging tool?
