Could it be a tire or tube spreader for a patch?

Hello, Oldgoaly. There does not seem to be a way to use it as a spreader, but I could be wrong. The mechanics of it make me think it is for lifting, the jaws seem like they would pinch when you use the bar as a handle. I've seen it listed as a Battery Lifter, and a Bead Breaker. Regards, Lou

Works mechanically like brick tongs, but the brick carriers are longer, with wider, flat faces on the jaws

That's got to be the most substantial battery lifter I've seen yet!  I wonder if it's for deep-cycle batteries, like power plant batteries?
