It seems like some sort of hold-down clamp, but I'm stumped as to what it would hold.

Home brew oil filter wrench
That is what I was thinking, maybe from special filter. Possibly a welding ground clamp. Can you post some more pics? What does the screw between the strap hand handle end with?

I think it's a dedicated tool for some manufacturing process.

Yes, but it doesnt make sense and turned up zero results on google
Why not post it up? Come on man you have to give a us fighting chance. What all was in the bag?

So what size does it fit inside? Its still clearly a strap wrench.

I get "Brake" on the bag, and it's a replacement part, so a brake for something with a shaft...

It looks like IRAKE. Its about 1 3/4" inside

No its not a brake in the sense it stops something. Its a brake in the sense its used for bending purposes. So i would say that is the replacement handle for a sheet metal brake. the rounded soft metal ******** it would be what would engage the brake "bending hinge" of the machine. I have a 10 1/2' aluminum brake for bending aluminum coil and your piece has similar componants to a metal brake.

Not an oil filter wrench. The nut inside the band would interfere with the filter when the device is closed.

Explain what you mean. Im a sheet metal worker and know what a brake is but i dont see what this would do on a brake
Yea after some more details I gathered that. Helps when all the info is present at once.
So maybe it bolts down to something with that base plate. Maybe call snap on tomorrow with that part number. Looks like leather inside of the strap?

It's a band brake.

Yes its a clamp cam handle for a brake. Couldn't think of the name. Like this just a different design.
No its not

It looks like some type of shaft braking mechanism, IMO, hence the "brake pad" on the inside.

The handle is 6" long. It has to be a stop for a shaft to some sort of equipment. When the handle is pulled it moves very very little.

Again, it's a brake (As in stopping something) a band brake, It even has the brake lining. It only works in one direction, so yeah not a strap wrench per se.
Definitely not part of a sheet metal brake.
Being part of a service tool may work, but without knowing what for...

It might not be a cam clamp but. I dont think its a stop for a shaft. The material on the inside looks to be a felt material and the band it self looks to be copper witch is pretty soft. This is a rather precarious tool. I cant stop looking at it.

Obviously it is an IRake. You couldn't dream of it but some day you won't be able to live without it. Some engineer likely left it in a bar as a teaser. Long AAPL calls and getting longer on this revelation.

i found it!! http://preview.thegarveygroup.com/26/upload/ZWBM200-2.pdf
I changed the 'I' in the part number to a B because that only made sense so i googled WB1-308 and found it as a brake assembly to a Snap-On Motorcycle Wheel Balancer
