Anyone know what this tool is? Thought it might be for holding a chisel but don't see anything resembling it on their site or their one time tool history. No numbers on it, just the Woodpeckers emblem.

I don't know what it's called, but I think the purpose is to keep the ends of boards aligned during an edge-to-edge glue-up

Jerry got it. I remember reading the description some time back. The relief in each of the blocks avoids smearing the anticipated glue squeeze at the seam.

Thanks guys. Was having a hard time visualizing exactly what you meant but I stumbled upon a picture of them from a newwoodworker.com review. Their called "Side Kicks." Looks like they could be a nice little gizmo for glue ups. Thanks again.
