Deck or Dumb Irons:

"Their primary purpose is to open up a seam which has not been properly made i.e. too tight a caulking seam." per Greg Anstey.

Caveat:

It is assumed that when tools have corresponding descriptions in different C. DREW catalogues, that they will also have the same dimensions and weights. This assumption may not always be correct.
