 Now I have one. What do I cut with it ? It is a KD 2031. Looks too large for exhaust. About right size for oil filter. Just a curiosity haven't seen chain wrench with cutters.

I have used that same size on exhaust, no problem.

Yeah, for exaust. You get a long chain in case you want to cut a big one (think big truck). They work ok, not great, but better than a sawzall ;P
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I have one of those - I use it for splitting open geodes for the kids.

Handy for cutting exhausts since it can cut with a back and forth swing. Don't have to have the pipe off the vehicle- just loop the chain, hook it, and swing the handle back and forth till it cuts the pipe.

I used mine to take down an old antennae tower. Worked good, and yes it fell where I planned.

It was my most borrowed tool at the last shop I was at.
Of all the things I've lost , I miss my mind the most

Maybe a popular tool with the low life's who slide under your SUV at the mall and crawl out with your catalytic converter to sell to the scrap man.

Oldtools, I agree with you, when you are working in a ditch, you can not beat that tool,
it saves a heck of a lot of extra digging to use any other type of tool.

I have never actually used a exhaust pipe cutter. Then again I've never done exhaust work alone. I do have one but not to long ago I sold it along with a lot of other tools. I have also sold ridgid soil pipe cutters, those things are cool.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

1930

I have something similar to this made by Vice grip. Never used it nor seen these used. Dont see any cutters.

Is it just for turning items?

Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Not for turning. For cutting things like exhaust pipes.

1930, if yours doesn't have any cutters then it is probably just a chain wrench that you can use to tighten or loosen pipe or to turn them like you suggested.
