andybeau Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Not Triumph related, I think anyway. Went out today with SWMBO. Visited a couple of garden centres and in-between went to Whitmoors Antique Centre off the A444.Bought some 8" Record G clamps, a small gilbows and this, the description was interesting tool any ideas £10 (had to buy). So any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Some sort of splitting device? Logs perhaps? Or an extraction device, bolts, nails etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could be just to de-nail floorboards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Yes, clearly designed to be fixed down. With the length of the lever a fair amount of force is required. I could go along with Anglefire's idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybeau Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 It looks like a big nail puller and it looks like it should be fixed in place. The label in the shop intrigued me. Another bit of space taken up🙄 I only looked at it as from a distance it looked like some type of pipe bender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 it looks like a wire cutter? Screwed down to a solid surface in the hardware shop, you buy a length of wire off a roll, it's fed into the jaws and cut to length. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 If it wasn't bolted down, I'd say, a cattle castration tool! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
