What is this tool?

I went thrift store shopping, picked up a 30 inch wall-mount screwdriver rack and a never-used HF face shield with the 'screen protector' layer still on it. New toys!

But I'm baffled by this thing I saw. It has diamond-shaped cutters at the center and at the outer edge of that plate. :scratchchin: No I didn't bring it home with me!

I thought it was a jerky gun until I put my glasses on....

Some kind of glass cutting tool?
Bottle cutter, perhaps?

Clamping or pushing device of some sort.
Probably something most folks would jury rig otherwise.
Obviously meant to be attached to side of a work table judging by the flange and holes.
Gotta follow this one!

It's a claw hammer, you just can't see it good for that doohicky laying in front of it.

It's hard to tell the scale without reference but could it push a caliper a piston?

Scale: the chromed lever is the size of a bicycle brake lever.

And does the lever move the rod with every squeeze?

I didn't try it.
