Look up fixture clamps and you'll find tons of similar types. I've got a **** load of this stuff and for production type work, they're great.

It looks like it started life as a gripper snap pliers. The right jaw seems to have been modified to hold a screw grip.

Destaco Model 431 - Squeeze Action Clamp, single spindle

"...Also known as portable, or plier clamps, the jaws of the DESTACO Squeeze Action Clamps are locked automatically when closing, as one or both handles are squeezed against the central position. The jaws of most models are drop-forged in steel and most are supplied with 1 or 2 adjustable spindles. All forged models are heat-treated alloy steel, machined to close tolerances. Squeeze Action clamps provide quick and flexible clamping..."
