Does anyone know what this tool is?

Hi,
Cleaning up and found this tool.
Undoubtedly a product of my pack-rat habit over the years.

It has an “UL” and “41PMA” inscribed on it, if that helps.

I was going to ask my wife but already know her answer.


Thanks

Beam clamp.

That's pretty tiny for a beam clamp, and the folded steel is a new one for me. What, if anything, is stamped inside the diamond to the right? Couple of mfgr used the diamond, might help shorten the list if we can find one in a catalog.

I cleaned it up with some vinegar.
Nothing inside the diamond.
There is “UL” stamp with 200 beside it.
Next line is: “ 4’ I.P. MAX”
I’ll soak it and see if anything else appears.

It's definitely a beam clamp. Yeah it's small, but think hanging light fixtures, not HVAC units .

Beam clamp x3. Installed way to many of those.

OK. Thanks.
I appreciate it.
I learned something new.

This could be the brother, folded metal and all.

Looks like its 4" IP Max, FM approved with the diamond (Factory Mutual), was an insurance type organization for blessing things when I did things like this.

There's something to learn at least every hour here on the GJ.
