Ah ha! A bit more of a challenge this one. It is of course a strap clamp or cargo stay. As a strap clamp it is used to hold large objects together while the glue dries. Like pieces of furniture on assembly. It can be used for holding cargo or equipment down during transport. But this one has only a small grip-lip so not much good for big cargo. The handle which is sticking up allows you to pump the ratchet so you can tighten the strap. Well spotted Nancy Holte who recognised there is another plate without a ratchet on the other end of the strap. Enough of that technical stuff!
Well, everyone seemed to get the idea...
Honorable mentions...

Paula Cook-Farkas - Really, it's quite obvious it's a red carpet applying device. Net says:-->> LOL - I really loved this answer. ROFL> Great one. Thanks for the entertainment. Nice invention you should market it. LOL. Definately a Doohicky Award!!! Yeeeehahw!
Nancy Holte Well, I really have no idea but I'm going to venture a guess. It's a clamp with an adjustable strap attached to it, enabling a person to put something on top of their car, attach this to one side, (I'm sure it's attached to another one for the other side) and THEN it will aid in holding the item in place. Or not. Net says:-->> Correctomundo. Great answer. Yeehaaaw!
What we see here is what we would call a "web clamp" in the states. Probably because of the web strapping! The metal ends are secured to a 'whatever' and ratcheted up by the flipo gizmo, drawing in the web which is securing the 'whatever.' I find these things indespensible when transporting lumber on the roof rack of the SUV, as it keeps the material on the roof of my vehicle until I arrive. Net says:-->> Nicely put Howard!
Well done. Bit more of a challenge that one. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi Damon - I've used mine too much this summer to NOT recognize a caulking gun when I see one! Very cool picture of it. Cobwebs suggest you haven't used yours in a while :-) Be well, Les
I know what it is but have no idea of the English name!!! caulking gun is probably the word I'm looking for :-) Or glue gun if the cartridge contains glue
a gun for the caulk that goes along the bathroom tiles and tub so as to keep water penetrating the wall and growing mold that would create weezing in the lungs.
Dead giveaway here as you seem to have left the tube of caulk in the caulking gun. It is a good thing they do not go out of style as this unit likes like it might have been in the first production run. If you tke good care of your tools, they will take care of you.
WooHoo! I got one! Now this one is most definitely a gizmo. Were I guessing, oh wait, I am guessing, I'd say it's a gizmo that hooks onto a cutting board that is then used to peal an apple. But to be honest, I'm hoping that's not what it is because it looks kind of grody to go near food items.
