Does this look familiar to anyone?

Never seen one before, but was wondering if he didn't know anything about it, how did he come up with his price?

That is not a wrench. I don't know the proper name for it. It is for tweaking things that need a little bending. The reason not being guaranteed is that if you over tweak, you will break the jaw. I have a larger one that is a simple burnout from 3/4 in steel. Mine is a great steel fab tool for angle iron. That one looks smaller, like for body shop work.

Kinda looks like a double-ended saw wrest.

I think Lostmind nailed it. That looks right to me.

lost,

That P&C tool is about 14" long.  It would seem to be too big and too clumsy for a voltage regulator point tool.

I'm with JIS, it's a tweaker for sheet stock.  I have seen much larger body shop versions for tweaking bumpers and bumper brackets.

Lauver , you are right , I didn't consider the size . Way to big for a point adjusting tool.
Made for bending something a lot bigger. Thanks

I didn't notice the length and I agree it would be too long to tweak points with, some sort of bending tool I guess.
