Eric, I'm dying to know how'd you guess "glass cutter" out of this tool?
;-) It's a bench shear for sheet metal. The turned-down end can be used
in a stake plate, or you can use it like I do and put the lower arm in a
vice and raise and lower the top arm to cut sheet metal. I've used it on
copper up to .032 thick. As far as who made it? I've got a brand new
pair in the basement that's 24 pounds, 40" long, with 9" jaws and it's
stamped "Billings". I've also seen them made by Pexto, like the pair I
use at the shop. They're handy, and they definitely would *Break* glass,
but I doubt thats what you want to do with them.

Cheers, Wes
