    Can't be. This tool has a hook for holding something cylindrical ala a tubing bender. Can't figure the spring end yet though.

    It's not a feeler gauge.

    Also nobody is fooled by that device used to hold small wood pieces together for sawing

    It is not used for holding small wood pieces together for sawing.

    I don't know. I think that may just be a opposite face to the main face that suggests this device is designed to slide along something like a 2 x 4 or a steel rail. The spring keeps the adjustment screw tight. The gap angle that can be set by the adjustment screw is very small. It is on a fairly clean workbench and there is sawdust on the tool, so we can assume that it is a carpenters tool and not a tool that is used on a railroad or in a machine shop.

    Beats me.

    Looks like some sort of tubing clamp. Like you would hook the curved part on the left around the tubing and feed the end you want to clamp through the space in the jaws on the right side and twist the thumb screw to tighten it down.

    It looks like that would be very awkward with this tool.
