Ran across this during my clean up, eventually (when I get time) I will use it to make a wire pliers rack (like ones I have seen here), maybe a wrench rack.

I got one of these when I helped sell my wife's late grandfathers tools when he passed. Never found a use yet but might be good for a creating small rack of some sort

I'll have to keep my eyes open for one of those. I bend a lot of wire and often make bending jigs, but that looks handy for getting a good sharp bend on.

Edit: any idea what the little hook bit is for in the grip?

I picked up one of those at a garage sale this past summer and have used it for a few things so far.

The "little hook" bit in the grip is used to slide over the stationary peg for bending a larger diameter hook in wire.

Thanks mbatarga.

You know I'm thinking Ive seen those at yard sale before, and wondered what the heck is that, and of course passed. Not often a tool stumps me. I always assumed it was a part to something.
