does anyone know what this is? I found it and have no idea what it is for?[

Could not get pics to be larger than thumbs. Not much to go on, but looks like a pair of pet nail clippers.

I updated the picture so it should be bigger now, definitely not nail clippers, it is about 10 inches long…

Possibly sheep shears…need bigger photo

I’m gonna go with some kind of a wire stripper. Or zip tie tightener

Well, now that a larger photo shows, I’m changing my original answer to “I don’t have a clue”.

And after scrutinizing the photo…I’m guessing it’s a banding tool. Steel strapping tensioner to be exact. But…I could be wrong. Again.

horse shoe scraper….

Have to agree with Kato. With a better picture and the stated size, it looks like a banding tightener.

+1 on the banding tool.

It’s definitely a stretching tool. Almost looks like a handheld fence stretcher.
