Can /diy/ tell me what this tool is for specifically? Hint 1:

Probably a cable terminator, ones we use now are more like a big staple gun looking thing though

>>988770

what sort of cable are we talking? I was thinking it is some sort of coax compression fitting thing..

>>988775
Coax is still used to some extent, mostly there's more modern variations of it depending on the application- feeder types which uses a full copper sheath to carry signals up to the antennas and waveguides which channel microwave.

That tools well before my time though so at the moment I'm just guessing its a cable terminator for some type of connector which isn't very common anymore.

it looks like a chain splitter to me. a tool used to remove the pin from roller chain. think bicycle chain / motorcycle chain.

I've terminated a lot of cable, coax, fiber and heliax but I've never seen anything like that used for telecommunications

>>988766
its a bicycle chain pin remover i think

>Ive worked in a bicycle store for 4 weeks and had to mount dismount some chains

>>988841
>>988852

I reckon you boys are right, the more i look at it the more it looks like a chain breaker..

Cheers diy!
