It's a spring compressor of sort. What does the other side of the fingers look like? Moose "Be as beneficent as the sun or the sea, but if your rights as a rational being are trenched on, die on the

That appears to be a valve spring compression tool that has had the pieces added to make it a sort of "vice-grip". I have a tool (several different ones, in fact) like yours - without the extra part

That is a valve spring (intake/exhaust) removal tool with pieces of metal welded on to do something else. Open the jaws up install in spring- close the jaws and you can remove the valve keepers and t

It looks like a variation on a Kant-Twist clamp. The wide jaws lead me to believe it was probably for clamping sheet metal or plate together for welding.....doubt if it is a special tool for diesel w

*I seem to remember shops using this valve spring compressor tool on flathead engines like the ol' Ford V8 and N series Ford tractors. It was likely pretty specific to the engine due to valve spring
