Bought this at a yard sale earlier this year. It has Mi-Spreader cast into the handle, but other than that there is no information on it. I tried googling it, but haven't come up with anything even remotely close just using "Mi-spreader" as the search term. Looks like the arms would fit over 2x boards or something similar and when you fully depress the arm it over centers into the locked position. It did have a label on it where a lock pin would go that warns you to not work around it when spreading (whatever the hell it is supposed to spread) without having the lock pin in place.

it's a tire spreader. it holds the bead open so you can do a repair inside the tire.

Thanks Anon! Makes sense now. I'd never seen one like this before. I have an old tire spreader that had an old leaky bottle jack on it that I converted to an air cylinder.

Will it work on Jehovah Witnesses? There's a couple good looking ones that run around here.

Can confirm. Used many times on my vintage fingerbox, circa 2009. One of the first items I ever 3d printed.
