It's a good thing we have Jim, our car guru, around, because nobody else in the place, including the very astute buyer who bought it, knew exactly what this thing was. Of course we all knew it was a black steel C-clamp. We could see that it had a 2-1/2" dia base plate and a 4-fingered claw with a 2" span that could be tightened against it. Who knew -- except Jim and his demolition-derby buddies -- that it was actually a clamp for hot-patch tire repairs? Ahh, the esoteric knowledge lodged in the brains around here. It's so scary....

Welders and other people with marketable skills know that these are sheet metal clamps, but the rest of us treasure the sundry other wonders they perform. (Wasn't that poetically put?) The handles lock, and the 3" wide jaws are just ducky at straightening out bent stuff, taking cookie sheets out of hot ovens, clamping oddly-shaped things with even pressure while the glue dries, snapping tile or glass after scoring it, and thumbscrew tightening. Made for Michigan Industrial Tools of drop-forged chromed steel, 8" long.
