While we're waiting for Herb, (warning: Don’t go in here if you don’t want to read sick but funny jokes)
I was reminded of what an old chef I worked for used to say..."Up your giggy with a rusty meathook !!"
This would be a clamp for holding to sheets of sheet metal together. You would then use the proper hole as a drill guide.
Close, but I'm looking for the trade that employs this particular tool. It's a bit small for sheet metal work.
But that does not explain the "slots", which I assume are specific gauges. Was it used for spot welding or riveting in the automotive industry?
Not the automotive industry, for welding, or iron working. It is sturdily built, but it's a very small tool, fellers. Less than five inches long. The clamp face is about an inch wide.
