Picked these up today, just to test y'all!

Maybe 6" long, and have a hole in the center piece under 1/4" but only just...

Nope, not a mark on them for make, model or pat.

Possibly a rivet gun? It's just a guess though.

 

[neophyte]

Is it for stretching or pulling cable or rope?

 

[Engineer61]

Is that a cutting edge coming out of the straight leg? Maybe some kind of rope or cable cutter.

It is a blade and there is a hole and setscrew for another one in the other handle. But I don't think it's a rope or cable cutter.

Safety pliers?

This is my belief. Based on the direction the blade(s) get set, and the hook on the one handle. Only you split the sheath lengthwise, and I'm pretty sure you could score the copper with this gizmo, but since it is lengthwise, probably not an issue for leaving a stress riser that could later break the end of the wire off.

I don't think so... (See above)

Nope! (You mean the type that twists safety wire, right?
