      Is this tool lost? Find and describe! :^)

      A friend says the item is a vintage heavy duty wire or cable cutter. It has no patent numbers or manufacturing source name. Any suggestions as to where I might look next would be appreciated.

      You might try this site:

      They have almost every tool, not just wrenches, try looking for cable cutters, and good luck! :^)
