Yet Another "What is this?" Thread

[hammlm]

Anyone have any idea what this might be? I have no background. Asking for a friend (yes, seriously). It was in the collection of stuff one of his relatives left behind.

No real reason, just curious if anyone knows. I was thinking maybe some tool for installation / rigging of modular furniture, but I'm not even sure why I think that.

Key for scale.

It's a leverage adapter for wrenches.

I thought those were different:

Sort of resembles a pulley holding tool, but not quite.

That or an odd belt tensioner tool...with it being flat like that...

Wire bender? Usually used in pairs. Greenlee 796 or Klein 50402 are a few of many options.

Does it happen to say "Kent Moore" on it? It looks like one of the KM tools to adjust the trunk lid torsion rods in GM cars.

Cable bender was my first guess. Seen an electrician use one that kind of looked like that.

Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking wire bender is probably the closest. I couldn't find any Kent Moore tools that had the same characteristics, but that was an interesting research project.

Thanks!
