Jim,

That appears to be a valve spring compression tool that has had the pieces
added to make it a sort of "vice-grip".  I have a tool (several different
ones, in fact) like yours - without the extra parts added.  :-)

My dad was a diesel mechanic and now I have quite a few tools I can't
identify. One is this Mac CF-48  that looks like the business end was
replaced
with different jaws at some point, judging by the weld quality.

Anyone recognize it? We've been having a fun game of "name that tool" on
another this but this one has us stumped.
