What does this tool do?

WhistlingBadger:
Found this in the garage.  Anybody know what it's for?  Best guess so far came from my father in law:  It's to hold your doritos bag closed when you make a bathroom trip during half time.

Maybe used for pulling leather over a shoe last or possibly a hand held sheet metal break.

dylanholderman:
Looks to me like a sheet metal break, I’ve had to make basically the same thing at work for one off forming operations.

WhistlingBadger:
Yep, I think you two are right.   Looks like companies call them "seamer tongs."  For bending sheet metal.

Thanks for helping me solve a mystery!

Also known as a duck bill. At least that’s what the HVAC guys around here call them
