Another What Tool Is This?

[metaldad]

'Found' this guy, in the sub basement where i toil alot.
No one seems to know anything about it, other than it's been living there for years.
Abouts 12'' overall. 1'' aluminum tube. steel cutting(?) head, no name or #'s, other than 'Hunt Wilde', on the grips, whom I just found out made plastic grips and went out of buisness in 2006.
I wish I took a better pic, of the cutter(?)/ beak (looks like a birds beak)

it was for puncturing something, my Dad had one back in the 60's, I forget what we would put inside it

it works sort of like a churchkey opens an old fashioned beer can

I think that punctures and locks steel wall studs (2x4s) used in commercial buildings

 

[metaldad]

will have to try punching a steel stud.

Anyone in the family a nurseryman?
Those look like they'd be used to punch the drain holes in the bottom sides of plant cans, back when they used cans, that is.
