It's a watch makers tool. I have no clue how it's used. And it's an antique.
I disagree. You can find new tools of the same design made of plastic for pinching off fuel and brake hoses. the part that's on the handles is for locking the tool in the closed position.

I would have never guessed it had anything to do with watchmaking. After reading your post I did a little googling. It is a watchmakers pivot clamping hand vice. Based on how it came to me, it is pretty old.

Looks like a fuel hose pinch tool.

I thought that made a lot of sense untill I saw the watchmaker tool. I could still use it for that if needed. Could use it to hold a lure too!


I may be WAY wrong, but a tool used on a horse's huff?

Based on the way it came to me, something like that would have made more sense than a watchmaker's tool.
 
Good to know. Sorry, I missed that.

It was hard to tell how big/small they are, but they look like they work the same. Pinch down and slide the retainer clip back to hold it in place. Now, most of them are either plastic or complicated-looking
