Unknown Tool
This is my first attempt at posting photos, I hope I get it right.
This hand tool was found in an old tool box and I wondered if anyone can tell me what it would be used for.
It is 6 & 3/4" long.
It has the name of Goodline and under that Germany. There is also a word above Goodline which I think is Ahrems.
Hmmm........Now I can't work out how to put text in between the photos, certainly not vey intuitive.
To make matters worse I printed off the instructions on how to do this and now I can't find them.
Oh well, I will up load this and see what happens.
Ok.......it seems to have worked but I was still unable to put text between the photos.
Photo #3 The top and bottom jaws and the top handle are all one piece, the two jaws are fixed in position and do not close or open.
I suspect this is used for crimping or bending, possibly metal or leather
The adjustment screw on the top handle can determine the closing of the bottom jaw.
The adjustment screw on the bottom handle allows you to move the bent piece of metal forward or back and there are graduation marks on the top jaw.
Photo #4 does not show it but the top jaw is only half the width of the bottom one.
Any ideas what this tool would be used for folks?

Did you ever identify it? Look here and scroll down to the Henry Boker saw set.

It's a saw set. I just bought a new one from thewoodworks.com.
You slide the little stop in or out to set the tooth depth and then, with the blade sideways, you tilt the tool so the tip of the top jaw and the base of the bottom jaw are hard against the saw plate. Using the screw attached to the spring ( yours is much shorter than mine) you set the amount of set. As you squeeze the handle the little beak pushes the tooth down.
It took a little while to get the hang of but for large teeth it seems easier than the eclipse to me... but that's not saying much.
Cheers...I'll just make the other bits smaller.

Hey Berlin,
thewoodworks.com: The Leading The Wood Works Site on the Net has apparently lost their website.

It is indeed a german style saw set. Mostly used on low tip saws. We have a bunch of them at the danish shipwright school. I have a far easier time using a Somax but one of my fellow students really liked these.
