Edit to add: My daughter works for the city, at the park complex. Due to a persistent hacking cough and the public freaking out about the corona virus she has been taken off her admin duties at the front desk and has been assigned to inventorying the tool/maintenance areas. She is sending me text with photos of all the stuff that she doesn't know what it is for me to identify. This was the first one I did not know.

Combo Stripper and crimper for large wires?

It looks like it would be used to cut cable and then using crimp on connectors it would crimp the crimp sleeve onto two cable ends. Just a guess thought.

I am not sure but I think it is related to the thread below about a Vasectomy.

Way cool!
Here's a video that explains what it is and does, and it's easy to imagine why a park maintenance department would have one

I always wondered how they did that!

AWESOME.
Sig forum to the rescue... again!
They had no name, size or anything on them... probably Harbor Freight stuff. I'm seeing lots of crappy off brand stuff.
