Some sort of bender?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It bends things. Used for bending a specific thing.
Tubing bender for fuel lines?
Seeing as you’re a sign guy, Is it a bender for neon tubing?
Lol nope. Neon is bent with flame by the way. This would simply shatter the glass, good try though. Not for fuel lines either.

I’m still looking at it but I know it’s futile because it’s a field of work I know nothing about.
It looks to clamp a piece of metal in the right side then bend it with the left side where it hinges. What specifically though, I would have no idea
Channel bending tool.

It’s for bending angle iron. Also have a notcher and a punch. All for steel angle. In this instance i was using it for a different purpose. Bending 1/4″ aluminum strips. Only thing i have that can do it.

Nice, I was assuming it was something even more specific than angle iron.
Want to do a quick easy one?

A key for doing something lol. I figured most people wouldn’t guess angle. This one was made by whitney roper.

That’s cool, it’s some heavy looking steel on that one.
This is a key, but for one specific task, remember, I’m a plumber
Is that for a faucet? I think my Moen’s tool is blue.
Damn, I thought that bender worked the other way, which would create a larger radius like you’d use for tubing instead of a 90-degree break.

For removal of the aerator.

In this case, from a can. But yes you’re correct!

Looks like a Moth ball, but I get them out of Paddington’s cans. I don’t know if it was their goal to motivate me to tear the can apart, but it worked.

That looks like an old pair of fireplace tongs. Used for grabbing a log and flipping it. I’ve also seen those used in blacksmithing for grabbing hot steel to work it on an anvil or power hammer during forging.

I can’t see how that would work though, this item has the pivot clear at the rear of it, and would not have any leverage to speak of vs like a scissor action of fireplace tongs.
HOWEVER! i searched for fireplace tongs and found this, so apparently that’s what it is!

So maybe my theory above is why they have all been replaced with ones with the pivot like a scissor
