OK, here's my guess-
Maybe it's a tie wire wrapper for knob-and-tube wiring; it looks like a porcelain knob would fit in the "U" portion. Then again, actually using this to do a complete tie-wire wrap may be a physical impossibility...
This one's really got my head a'scratchin'!
No wire bias here- I'm standing on neutral ground.

Its a torture device for homeowners that do their own electrical work and handymen. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/wink.gif)

sparkystudent is right. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/forum/el/sq3.jpg) Los Angeles used to allow up to 100' of aluminum flex to serve as an equipment grounding conductor if it was cut with one of these. I haven't used it since the early '80s. It doesn't work worth a darn... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) S

I'll be darned. Never would have guessed that. And I've been using the Benfield Saw Box for over 20 years. . . ![[Linked Image from benfielddirect.com]](http://www.benfielddirect.com/sawboxes.jpg) Were the two little hooks a way of sturdying the tool and flex while cutting?

Al,
See! You've already got one.
As far as I can tell, the little hooks are there just to make it harder to put the hacksaw in...S
