It hammers/crimps something in place but not moldings.

I thought it looked like a framing tool but I don't know now, maybe brick work

I think it's a tool used to fasten the metal corner bead on an outside corner when installing drywall.

I won't be able to monitor a challenge right now, so the challenge is opened to any iPF member who wishes to post a challenge.

This is a professional tool that I inherited from my grandma. It may well be 100 years old. What is its purpose?
