[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 1235928, member: 55"]If the lever is moved, does that make the jaws open and close? If not, I think it may have been mis-assembled; I can't imagine the lever was intended to go through the triple-jawed item as it is now. If the lever did not go through there, the triple jaws would open and close as the ring was moved back and forth, possibly with the lever placed below the ring instead of through the jaws. In that case, it could be a bench-mounted cherry-pitter or similar; or a pipe-reamer, or a clamp or vise, for items to be held in the jaws.[/QUOTE]
