I sometimes browse Goodwill for stainless part making material disguised as household items. I don't need more junk so I seldom buy anything ... but ... I came across this giant aluminum crimping tool for $4.99 and couldn't help myself :) ... I have no idea what it was designed for and it didn't come with any jaws or inserts ... Possibly a Binford CR2000 Crab Cracker with dishwasher safe removable jaws :o ...I needed a ATV reason to buy it so I could have a clear conscience ... LOL ... I suspect most folks have similar problems in junk stores ... Would you have bought these and what for? ... the Wife just doesn't get it ...
Interesting to see how peeps view the same thing differently.

Closest guess of what their new ATV related purpose is might get a prize ... LOL ... burp.

Good search job ... Dual in-line package - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... I don't have any DIP plugs to build ... LOL
It's now a chain adjuster :)
I got a carrier that was all messed up from someone using the wrong tools to adjust the chain ... was going to try to weld it up and try to remake the notches ... then I saw "The Tool" ... here's the results ... a little overkill, but functional :)
