Saw this while cruising the "Bay today.

Looks like it's designed to bend something.

Anybody have any idea what it's for?

Its a cutter for pex tubing. It can be used for about any type of plastic tubing.

used it many times. except that one is vintage. all the ones i have used over the years were more grip friendly.
when tools became more expensive because of their singlular use designation, we would use your average pruning side lopping or even the anvil type cutters. as long as they were sharpened after each job.

I used to work in an auto parts store - we used something similar to cut heater hose. Sold it by the foot.
