What is this tool for?

Came from an estate sale.  A truly over-engineered adjustable 8-sided box
wrench which is probably too big to actually reach the bolthead/nut it's
intended to turn?  Not likely.

a quick google of imperial eastman shows they make hvac and tubing
tools, I'm guessing its something that crimps fittings onto tubing...

That sounds pretty reasonable. Crap, now I need to go buy some tubing :-(

They sell the missing tube flaring clamp at harbor freight, Northern and the
likes.

Funny ...I also got a tube flaring kit from my fathers estate....

Not really all that useful. I can't remember the last time I needed to flare a
tube.
