    Funnily enough I read somewhere a while back it is also used at times to tighten loose double shotgun hinge pins.
    Not recommended for tightening shotguns! There are two correct methods for doing that; reaming the joint and fitting a slightly larger hinge pin (not possible on some guns), or cutting a dovetail and fitting an insert in the hook. Neither are jobs for amatuers.
