I guess that nobody wants to guess the Mystery Tool. I know that somebody knows what it is. But they do not want to head up the next Mystery Tool. So I will declare the panel stumped.

The Mystery Tool is this. Cuff Expander for a Deep Sea Diving Suit. The site shows the modern version.

I leave it up to whoever wants to start the next round of "Stump the Chumps" Mystery Tool.

Well, I could post something, but you all are so good, I am sure it would be figured out pretty quickly.

Seems we need a clue review:
Deadman switch is warm
it is test equipment
there are lots of photos of what it is used on
Think Big
I'm sure David knows what it is.

The new hint is related to the photos, there is a thread here at Seti full of them.

New old might be unheard of tool. This is your tool showing the insides with the front face vernier removed to show the insides.
