Cory865 Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 8:46 pm Im sure its damage probably from a vuce or something but the one sided reeded edge of those gashes threw me off. If I didnt ask someone it would end up being something significant. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 9:39 pm Its a kind of tool, just don't remember exact name those are the marks the jaws leave when clamped. That "reeding" is a knurling effect used to keep object from slipping. Its like a notch cutter, for sheet metals when building air ducts.
