Nobody has a definite answer as to its use, but it has been suggested as being a device to hold a motorcycle chain together for fitting. Its well made and clearly not home brewed. The adjustment wheel has left and right hand threads and is clearly not man enough to apply pressure at the far end.

However in the pic of the OP and the link to the pins there are two good improvements I need to make. The thumbwheel will stop the jaws closing on your hand when a pin slips out and it looks as if the pins are held in with an O ring, meaning they are easy to change.
