It's a metal band tensioner and cutter. Usually used to secure something to a post that you have no intention of removing for the foreseeable future.
That looks like a band-it strap puller/tightener.
I forget what the actual name is, but it can latch onto a metal strip and pull it tight around some digs to keep boxes and canisters in place, or to hold a strong back repair plate on a damaged pipe
We have a winner.
Im sure they have a real name but if you asked anyone who knows what it is for the "metal band tightener/cutter" they would know what you meant.
