    I think that this is a tool for crimping barbed wire, but I cannot find another like it online. Maybe I am wrong. Does anyone know what it is?

    Thanks

      No marks on it.

      Not an electrical crimper, but a barbed wire crimper.

      Hello, Could you post a pic of the working end, with the handles open? The gearing looks like this may be a spreader, possibly for chain? Regards, Lou
