Tool Identification Required

[Marcel R. Cyr]

I have had this tool stashed away since my Father died 35 years ago.

Trying to figure out what he used it for.

Any of the young fellow Members recognize it.









Thanks

Hi Marcel

Is that an Asbestos tile cutter?

Regards

Gerry

Hi. Gerry.

That is what I thought it was too, but back then we used to use a hand torch and a utiliy knive. Well, for the 12x12 VAT that is, back in the 60's.

The 9x9 was before my time, and we had some in our home too!.

The cutter only measures 6-1/2" in depth x 4-1/2" in width.

I was thinking more down the line of plastic wall tile, but don't know how long ago that came out and don't remember watching anyone install it either.

Thanks, I am open for any other guesses.

Marcel,

I believe it's actually what it says it is. A tool for cutting Golf putters

I think the Ebay seller has no clue what it is, and classified it by it's name. Happens alot on online auctions.

I go with the tile cutter idea.

Prove me wrong

Thanks Jeffrey for finding that exact picture on EBay, but my Father never owned or played golf in his life.
I have to believe the name on the tool has mislead people.
How do you or would you cut a golf putter with this.

My friend from Ontario, seems to agree with me on my second guess, that it was used to cut platic wall tile.
But, I am only guessing too!.

Thanks Jeffrey, at least if I want to sell it, I can ask for $30. ha. ha.

Thanks Wayne, your the third person to say it is.

Now I got to find a piece of tile to try it out and see if it works.

It might be hard to find an old piece of 4"plastic wall tile Marcel, but i do believe that is what that cutter is used for

Thanks Wayne, that is what my instincts told me too.
I have removed plenty of plastic wall tile before, so why the hell did I not save at least one piece.

I think it is because my wife keeps telling me I save too much junk, and clean that cellar now!!!!!
