Jerry,
I have a tool for crimping points on that a fella gave me several years ago but it looks nothing like that...Mine looks like a set of Pliers and have a rounded section where it fits over the shaft and then you just squeeze the handle together and crimp is complete...Yours must be the "Delux" model... :cool:
yap its and I'll spell this one wrong knurling tool for old style field tips pretty cool tool bd
They make such tools (or did) for knurling cannelures in jacketed bullets. This could be a runaway from an old bulletmaker's reloading bench.
