Hey everyone,

I've been cleaning out my granddad's old workshop (he was a machinist back in the day), and I came across this… thing. I don't have pictures to share right now, but I’ll try my best to describe it clearly.

It’s solid steel, around six inches long, with a weird offset jaw design. The jaws are serrated, but not sharp like a cutting tool. There’s also a threaded hole on the side, almost like something was supposed to be bolted onto it. I couldn’t find any markings or labels anywhere on it.

I’ve tried searching online using different descriptions but haven’t had any luck. Someone joked that I should just post more for the karma, but I figured asking about this mystery tool would be more useful than spamming the sub.

My granddad used to make a lot of his own tools, so it might be something he custom-built. Could it be for bending wire? Holding a specific shape? No idea. I'm genuinely stumped.

Would love to hear any thoughts or guesses. Thanks in advance for any insights!

I want to try using ankle, chest, or wrist weights, but they’re quite expensive, and with shipping, the cost adds up to around $300_which is a lot for a student

if any one know HOW TO MAKE ANKLE WEIGHT or has any DIY ideas I’d be really grateful!

I was given this machete and it was extremely dull, rusty, and I didn't like the plastic handle it came with from the factory. I made it a new handle and it is extremely rough currently, but it's also pine wood and it'll likely break later on. The new handle is about twice the length of the original handle and allows you to hold it with both hands. I'm not gonna say it's pretty, because it's not, and I don't really care too much since the handle is pine. I probably look like a serial killer when I hold it....all I need is a hockey mask....
