What Tool Is That!

[Black Ned]

I found this on the side of the road during council clean-up. I assume is is for bending something. But what does it bend and how does it work? Inside the curved metal fence is a number of part drilled depressions. The main roller is offset. Is it still useful as a tool?

Go knock on the door of the house where you found it and tell them you've stolen their trash now can they tell you how to use it! :U

Looks interesting. The bumps maybe some sort of ratchet? I wonder if it is complete?

If it was for bending it would need to clamp one end and drag it around, this usually involves a roller.
