What is this tool for?
The local used refrigerator store had a cleanup the other day and put
some things out in front marked "free". I brought home this tool because it looked like it may be useful. It's made by the Watsco Co. who is listed as a maker of refrigeration tools but I couldn't find anything about it. It has two cutting blades made of steel rule die stock that can be angled. There is a backup pad made of some sort of fibre. Any ideas about what it's for? Engineman http://www.photoworks.com/members/engineman |

Engineman http://www.photoworks.com/members/engineman I couldn't quite make out the US Patent number on the photo showing it. If you'd put that number into a Google patent search you'll likely get your answer. I spent a few minutes fiddling with your image trying 2493517 and a few other guesses, but didn't pull up anything like your pictured tool.

I thought you just got new glasses. g http://www.freepatentsonline.com/2493513.pdf I clicked the Play Fullscreen button on engineman's page and found the original patent photo. Free login, no spam so far. It looks like a Matsco product. Nevahoiduvit. -- Change is the process by which the future invades our lives. -- Alvin Toffler |
