Normally used for opening nailed down lids of transit cases. The sliding handle acts as a hammer for forcing the jaws into the wood around the nail.

A good screwdriver and screws that haven't been reused 10 tines would have been better

In the absence of a good old screw hammer, a Mk I rifle butt?
