I thought you passed the farm on down to your son for some reason..

Great to know. Any hint as to what my prize is. Just ordered my bed strips so the only big thing left to order is the front and back windows. I do need some smaller stuff though. Or perhaps just a few days off to work on my truck.

OK, I've let my tool in question sit long enough.
My dad had this thing in his tool box 50 year ago and it was old back then. It's for making hose clamps using wire. You loop a piece of wire around the hose and insert the tool and tighten the wire. I remember him showing how it works but never have used it myself. One of many his tools, along with the greatest one, my F-2 that I have that have memories about my dad.

I've seen those. It's a shear type cutter for cutting sheet plastic, metal, etc. We had one at the Shell Station I worked at. Ours was dull but would still cut thin metal.
