I've heard of people buying used Uninterruptible Power Supply
batteries from building-wide systems.  Dunno where you'd go to find
them, though.

Battery dealer who supplies them new. Large scale ups batteries are replaced on schedule when they have substantial life in them. There is an active secondary market for them.

Hi.  Found this in a tool box.  Does anyone know what this is?  The 
only thing holding these two pieces together is a V-shaped 
spring.  You can see the end of the spring coming through a small 
hole at the bottom of the picture.  There is an equivalent hole for 
the other end of the spring on the other jaw. There are black 
deposits as well as metal deposits on this, as well as some sort of 
grinder marks, perhaps cleaning this thing up after use.  It looks 
like most of the wear is toward the joined end.  The whole thing is 
about 2.5 inches long.  Any thoughts on what this is?

It looks like the guts of the chuck on a wood boring brace. The spring is there to open the jaws so you can put in the bit. There are probably also wear marks across the piece on the opposite end from the spring on the angled part. Do a search for “brace and bit”. 

Peace,
Pat

Just a guess, but I'm going to say heat sink.  Do the deposits look like
they might be solder?  Sometimes a heat sink is used when soldering to
limit how far the heat will travel.  You can clamp it on the wire and it
absorbs heat, preventing it from melting insulation.  At 2.5 inches this
one might have been intended for plumbing, to control heat flowing along
copper pipes.

I think Pat and Roland are right.  I found some pictures 
here:  http://lumberjocks.com/Brit/blog/24957.  Scroll down a 
bit.  Many thanks for solving the mystery!

I note that the teeth are cut so as to engage one another, rather than
be point to point.  That makes me think it is for clamping smaller
things rather than larger things.

The “teeth” on the sides are like gears to keep the two sides of the jaws lined up. 

Peace,
Pat
