Did that tool ever get identified?

Many months ago, and I wish I could remember who, posted pics and a description about a tool that he could not identify. This was in GQ IIRC.

It was a pliers type tool, and it was speculated that it might spread something apart and then close. He also posted it on other boards with no luck.

I am having trouble with search, and would appreciate if someone could give an update, as it was a very entertaining thread. Apologies for the lack of info.

Yup. It’s apparently a tool used by the German telephone/telegraph company.

Ahh. Thank you very much Tuckerfan.

Oh, BTW, cool MB link too. Thanks again.

Just wanted to stop in and say that thread, when featured on Threadspotting, was the first I ever read. And a month or so ago when I tried to find what had become of it, I couldn’t, so I am now complete.

I loved that thread too. It was vastly entertaining to watch so many knowledgable people scratching their heads!

It was mhendo. Or something like that.
