what is this tool ?
a friend of mine collects old tools.he found this one on evilbay recently. the seller did not know its purpose.
my mother in law said her dad had one at his sawmill when she was a little girl but does not know its purpose either.
anyone know?

Maybe a hammer? Looks like it is missing part of a handle, if it was there you could pinch the nail head and pull it out??
The wife and I like to browse antique shops and old interesting tools always catch my attention, but I have never seen one like that.
Have Fun!

It's missing the motor. It's an ACME electric, spring loaded hammer. The roadrunner done blowed it up...lol!

Looks like one of those branch trimmers if it had a long wooden handle attached..... or maybe it's a tool for putting up fencing. Is that a hammer head on the one side? I'll stick with the fencing idea if it is.
If nothing else, it's interesting. probably find out it's part of an apple peeler or off a steam engine or some other obscure use that we haven't had a need for in 50 years!

Beat's me.
It does look like it should have a handle on that left side, though.

If it starts to rain, they'll tax the splash.
If you want to fish, they'll tax the bass.
If you plant a yard, they'll tax the grass.
If you don't play nice, they'll fine your *$#!

the one side is like a hammerhead.
when squeezed together so the "jaws" are closed both heads are parrallel.
the handle does appear to have been broken/shortened at some point.
the spring is not the original, it has been replaced at some point as it is newer and shiny.the jaws teeth are sharpened.

Tha phone company has a tree trimmer that looks a lot like what you have. It is mounted on a long pole which would be the part sticking down in the pix. The part that looks like a hammer head to the left would have a pully attached and a rope attached to the pole at one end passing through the pully and down to the operator that you pulled (jerked)closing the jaws and cutting the limb.
