You need to recalculate on your prong counting
A secondary use back in the 80's - sold, expensively, as a strong rubber band to hold the "crash-back" front suspension on the 1/10 scale off road racing buggy, the Schumacher CAT

No.The stuff nightmares are made of
but I have seen a farmer friend used them on bullocks.

Makes having the snip seem like a gentle experience by comparison!

So webbing pliers seems to be the likely identification then?
These do seem heavier and thicker then the ones I can find online but it's the most likely explanation.
The set on ebay was £25....

At least you have choices:The snip? Something I need to get sorted
1 The NHS - fairly quick and painless
2 Two house bricks - quick and painful
3 A No4 vice - slow and painful
4 The mystery tool - have no idea but can't be worse than 2 or 3

There is an additional way.At least you have choices:
1 The NHS - fairly quick and painless
2 Two house bricks - quick and painful
3 A No4 vice - slow and painful
4 The mystery tool - have no idea but can't be worse than 2 or 3
I don’t do it with my set, in exchange for all your tools.
