anyone know what this is .. not the 50p thats onloy there for scale
hermetic:
It is a pair of seal pliers for putting the seals on electricity meters in the UK. The flat type with the little raised bit at the end, uses bowden cable threaded through the meter screw heads, and a soft tinned copper tube crimpted on to the cable using this tool
awemawson:
No I challenge that idea, seal pliers would have no need for a calibrated scale
Seal pliers look like this (but there are many variants)
awemawson:
I still think it is a gem measure - this is a slightly more modern one:

hermetic:
You may well be right Andrew, but the sealing pliers being used on the gas meter and different to the more modern electric ones, which have a profile exactly the same shape as those jaws, I will try to get a picture of one tomorrow.

awemawson:
Slight issue Phil is that squeezing the lever on the OP's picture OPENS the jaws :scratch:
