Unknown tool....

[TackKS]

Does anyone know what this is? A family member gave this to me explaining it had something to do with loading a firearm. I am a handloader, and have no clue what it is. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks-

Possibly, I don't know. Thanks.

I've never seen one of these before but if it indeed is a tool for the manipulation of ammunition I would guess that it is some form of bullet puller used to remove a loaded bullet (projectile) from a previously assembled cartridge.

Might find something that looks similar here:

I can't quite tell from the different angles.....

Thanks for your input ya'll. I didn't see it in the old catelog, but there were some similar things. I may bring it to a 'fun-show' and ask around.

I asked over at The High Road.
Someone there should know.

It is used to set the "kerf" of a hand saw. It slightly bends the teeth of the saw opposite directions so the blade will slide through the cut.

They are fast over there.

I got a similar answer from another board.

The more set you put in the blade the bigger the kerf and the rougher the cut. I used to see a few guy's that done sharpening not anymore though that would be a good tool to hang on to. Ken

It would be slow, I was thinking in the sense you had no power and the SHTF situation. Quack

It is a family hierloom, so it ain't going anywhere. It will stay up on the shelf to look at with the other heirlooms.

It is used to set the kerf on the big two-man cross cut saws.
