Hozan C-200 or ???
I thought the C-200 was a pedal wrench and that it looked like the below photo

A seller on the 'Bay has a listing phot'd below and described as "C-200 Compressing tool". Is this a Cotter press??? I need a press so still looking

Detail shot shows a different model number than C-200 but can't read it.
Ps I see the possible crack on one side.

It looks like a valve spring compressor, maybe. For motorcycles or cars. I can see how I could use it for that, even if that's not its actual purpose.
I have a couple Hozan motorcycle tire irons. Good quality but a little small for wrestling with my CB350's road tires.
Here's another listing for the OP's tool in question. Advertised as suitable for ...airplanes?!
