Saw this just the other day at my BIL's while helping him move. I asked him what it was and he had no idea, it had been his father's and he couldn't get rid of it. He thought it had something to do with making bullets because his father was an avid hunter. Now I can tell him it's a nut cracker !

My back story on this nutcracker....

Last weekend my wife and I went to a local estate sale.  I saw this on the counter and thought..."what the heck is that for"? Then my mind drifted to this SOL what the heck is it tool thread and I thought you guys would be able to tell me.   Then I saw the box and thought to myself if I hadn't seen the box, I would have never thought this to be a nutcracker.  Seems a bit of overkill to me.  Still thought it would make a good post so I offered $1.00 against the posted price of $2.00 and bought the most sophisticated, nutcracker known to man.  I love the advertising bullet on the box... "Prepares nut meats as you need them"

 

Thats a funny story about your BIL holding onto it for so long and not using it for its intended function.

Where were you while I was scratching my head while sitting right next the auger bits it supposed go on. For more than a year.. on and off that is. ;)  

 

"Stanley No. 49 Auger Bit Depth Stop" would be the proper name for it.

My ol' lady just described to me a rubber band nut cracker......

It was nothing like what you posted. But she's seen stuff that "would turn you white."

seeing all these nut crackers reminds me of a joke

 

Little johnny goes into his mothers room and she is laying on the bed nude

he asks, whats that ma. ma responds thats my squirrel.

then he goes in his grandmother bedroom and she's laying nude on the bed also.

Johnny asks whats that grandma. grandma responds thats my squirrel.

Johnny  says wait a minute, wait a minute , how come mama's squirrel is brown and your squirrel is gray?  Well when your mothers squirrel cracks as many nuts as mine has , hers will me gray also.
