My guess would be tooling that makes those wire clips that fasten the barbwire to steel posts.
 
First impression was it could be a one off item for manufacturing of?
Looking closer the combination of stamped, cast and machined pieces used to make it would indicate it was produced in quantity.
The base being trued on a mill indicates the need for precision.
Not gunsmith precision but more than what we see from mass production facilities.
Lacking shiny wear marks would suggest it is either unused or does not function with speed or constant repetition.
By no means cheaply made and whatever it does it does it to both ends of an item at the same time with mirror image ends.
Beyond that I have no idea.

I don"t know what it is but it looks like some sort of a too , so I need it! Where can I get one?( Grin)

I was getting dizzy standing on my head so I flipped it. Looks like the hooks come down(forward) then back slightly, the round things tip out to the sides(spring return), and the square "Lego man hand" things lift up/towards or down/ away from the round things.

With out more pictures or measurements there isn't much to go on. Simply looks like a forming die for something to me.
