I was going to ask everyone what this tool is. Then I found the words/letters Nes2 on it and went ahead and goggled it. Sounds like it is used to clean up threads on bolts - a thread chaser. SAE sizes 11/16 to 1 1/2. Metric sizes 17 to 38. I think I might have got it at a flea market or garage sale. Now that I know what it is it might come in handy someday. Summit Racing lists the tool at $103.99. I might have paid $1.00 to $5.00 for it. Here is what they have to say about the tool.


Nes external thread repair tools have an ingenious design that allows you to clean up damaged or rusty threads with just one tool. Universal is the key word here. One tool (NES5) repairs SAE, Metric, coarse, fine, left or right handed threads. These external thread repair tools will allow you clean-up or repair your external pipe threads. No calibration is necessary and the self-adjusting design replaces a huge array of dies to keep money in your pocket and your toolbox free of clutter. Nes external thread repair tools will repair thread on pipes as small as 5/32 in. up to 6 in. Other thread chasers are available in a variety of styles for a range of size applications

I would think one of the jaws must be adjustable to work on that many sizes or it would have a mess of the threads in short order.
 
Never seen that before, looks like a great idea!

Never had any luck with a thread file, maybe everyone I've tried was dull, but all it does is skate across without doing anything!
