    IDK, but prolly some sort of crimping tool. Like they use today for metal strap banding and the like. Could have been specific to a brand or device.

    Piney while I can't say with 100% accuracy, it looks real similar to the pliers we used years ago to crimp hydraulic lines to the pump on International Harvester combines.

    They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

    That is possible. Those people were small time farmers as well. Thanks for the input I figured if anyone had a clue it would be you.
