Pretty sure that is a banding tool, used to tension metal banding for securing stuff to a pallet.

I don't see a chuck? Width of banding is the only thing that changes, not much in your pics for scale to judge width. You can use narrow banding in a tensioner made for wide banding, but not wide banding in a tensioner made for narrow banding.
Are you sure you are using the right pictures?

I see no chuck. I do see some POS that's probably misidentified at an Antiques mall.

Thank you dalmatiangirl for the id and rustyironism for the link. I mistook the feedwheel and locknut for a chuck. It is a banding tool and that's why I joined today to correctly identify tools that I did not know their purpose. Easy reggie_obe I am a shareholder in a antique mall and if it's one thing we enforce is dealers correctly identifying what something is they have for sale. Bought it at a flea market for $2 and it will now go to ebay instead of the antique mall.

Suggestion to moderator:
Consider adding to sticky the following clarification: while there is nothing wrong with members asking for IDs and values on vintage items they have a personal interest in or that other members might be curious about, the forum is not here to provide an ID and pricing service for flea market flippers and internet resellers.

Inspires me to start a museum level collection of strapping tensioners and related tools.

Well sure, ... everybody knows of the sterling reputation of flea-flippers and ebay hustlers.

Under your name and occupation you put "Engineer"....so really you are just a flea market huckster ?
