Title: Not a high dollar tool
Post by: coolford on February 18, 2020, 05:32:52 PM
This item is marked Oxwall, Japan.  The two holes in the ends are for screwing it to a bench (or a board).  The holes in the middle are for short steel pegs (missing).  It is a tool, but not a wrench.  If you know what it is, just say "I know", and lets some others guess.  I don't know how uncommon this item might be.

Wire bending jig.  Mine's not marked Oxwall, but it wasn't expensive, since it followed me home from a yard sale.

Yes, wire bending tool, not much to look at but very handy.

Wire bending jig. I bought mine from Lee Valley a few years ago. Inexpensive and comes in handy. Great for making custom hooks for the pegboard.
