THE CROCODILE TUBE

The victim's head and an arm or leg were placed in the tube that was then heated up by the executioner. Victims would slowly burn and the spikes would penetrate their flesh. Death was inevitable.

One of the most appaling torture devices to ever be implimented. This is an iron pincer with hemicylindrical blades that formed a long narrow tube when closed together.
