I have this tool and do not have any idea what it is. :sad: Any suggestions? Thanks for looking.
Does that flap close flush with the stationary jaw when you squeeze the handles or do they overlap.

If it is a welding clamp, it does not have a lock to hold the jaws together. You must continue to use pressure on the handles to keep the jaws closed. When closed the jaws are about 1/8 of an inch apart.
It seems to be a tool to bend a flange deep in a panel.
I think it's called an external seamer clamp , but can't find one that has to be held closed.
Must be used to move along a long piece and fold it together.
Lot's of illustrations on google , I just don't have the time.
Hope you guys can help , I bragged up this forum to get him to post it here. LOL
The throat looks to be about 6", is that correct?
The throat is about 9 inches deep.
