Cleaning up my tools and organizing them; I actually have two of these

The label reads:

(something)T and CLINCH
OK INDUSTRIES INC
3455 CONNER STREET
BRONX, NY 10475, USA
MADE IN ITALY

Cast/stamped into the metal above the label is "TP-3"

I assume it has something to do with electrical or electronics work
based on where I got them (in a lot of stuff that I was told to dispose
of at a previous employer - and yes I was told it didn't matter how I
disposed of it) I knew what most of the tools were but this one has me
stumped. A web search is not helping, other than to confirm that OK
Industries does make electrical/electronics tools...

any help appreciated; if this is worth anything I'd like to sell one, I
have too much crap. If it's fundamentally worthless one of 'em (or
both?) is going into the trash...

thanks

It looks like what I've seen before for installing through the hole
circuit board components to cut, bend over and flatten the component's
lead to prepare it for soldering. ^_^
