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

One picture I saw online show a handle piece that is missing on yours.

Hello, Lewill2. You have it, plain to see on the one I have, the handle is sheared off. Another one for the mistake box!!!!!  Regards, Lou

Battery lifter.

Mine is a battery dropper!!!

My first thought was battery , but could also be for bricks?

[lptools]

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?
