It,s part of a plumbers snake.The steel ribbon thing you push thru your pipe to unclog it.The flat tape goes thru and slides thru as you extend it and when you clamp down with the gizmo you can get a good push on the tape.Repeat until the clog is gone.Don,t bite your fingernails after using.Could be wrong but got a good feeling on this one.
maybe a nut cracker?

How about some photos of a view inside or a shot at the front of the hinged end......both open and closed on the handle.
