What is this for.

These are Peterson vise grips, but I don't know what they are for.
Please help.

Breaking, and subsequently re-riveting the repair, of saw chain for chainsaw. If you were in Western or Eastern WA as opposed to Central, youd know that

Sorry Central Washington (Yakima Valley)

Just giving you a bad time,.....they are pretty common in logging country.

Yep, portable chainsaw chain breaker.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Thanks guys, you are the best. I just knew you all would know what it was.

I just bought one of those, pricey little ******. I wanted it pretty bad, works good.

 

[Richard Cranium]

so how much did it cost you?
And don't you also need new links for the chain?

 

[B_Bimmer]

I think I paid almost 40 shipped. You do need replacement links to spin down.

thanks for the info.
