Any ideas!?

[celestina44]

We go to old dumps and abandoned properties, with permission of course, found this gizmo and am at a lost for any imaginary use! ☺ Anybody have a clue, somthing to start any research? No writting on it, the tip has a metal rivet like dot, thr claw opens and closes... The only thing I came up with was a bottle opener! ☺ Thank you for your onput.

Just looking at this again for some reason gave me the impression of something that would go on the end of a prosthetic arm.

You say the handle is metal. Are the holes threaded?

No they aren't.

I think Bruce is on the right track.The reason I think a rope was attached is that would give gripping power to the jaw.It makes me think of a pruning pole but the jaw is a gripping type not a cutter.Also something else I noticed with the new pictures is the protrusion on the side didn't notice that before.Is it spring loaded to open the jaw or just gravity operated?

Just gravity operater.

Celestina, I think you might have posted something that's gonna make Bruce's head explode!

The way it's design. As you pull back on the handle you are applying pressure to the hammer part. No rope needed. If your thinking pruning. Where the blade

It's small. I don't think a tool of any kind. As mentioned in an earlier post, it reminds me of a transom hook.

Or maybe part of a floor mounted door catch...

DC, that sounds logical

Yes and there aren't any groves like on pliers... The pc. is smooth. I will post a video after my coffee.. ☺ maybe that will hel us in research.

If you read my complete answer I state that it reminds me of a pruner but no cutting blade so some type of grabber.

 

[Backwoodsbob]

It could be. But it would not have much grip strength with a short Leverage angle.

Apple picker or fruit picker you can hook the apple without bruising it.

Those would be some teeny, tiny apples. Did you look at the pics? Apparently, not...
