another mystery tool

[Hughman]

Got this one from Lefty last weekend. I think he just wanted to confuse me.

"thing" is about 1 1/4" wide

What's it for?

[Woxbox]

Someone has to suggest this, so I might as well....

You use it to tighten your gronicles.

[The Bigfella]

It looks more like a gronicle loosener.

[Captain Blight]

Aft gronicle interior caliper?

[Chip-skiff]

A diplomat's torque wrench: for applying discreet pressure.

It's a weasle set. You use this to position your weasle exactly where you want it to sit.

Must be a prototype then as there isn't an incredibly expensive knurled brass 1/4-20 knob anywhere to be seen.

you use it to measure how much is in the cup. Hold the round pin up touching the bottom of th plastic cup and fill to top edge of of slot.

[Popeye]

gronicle torque wrench

i set mine at thirty foot pounds and recheck 'em every 10,000 miles

[Mrleft8]

Yanno...... Phiil (with two i's) could prolly tell you....It came from him originally......

[Yeadon]

I don't think that's the original handle. Worthless.

[outofthenorm]

It's a despansion gauge for calibrating the negative change in a suspect gronicle.

[Bob Cleek]

I love mystery tool threads, but this one's not fair! No fair posting home made purpose made tools! LOL

[Vince Brennan]

The weird thing is I think I know what it is, but my memory is simply not pulling up the information. It's driving me nut(tier).

[abbyj]

It is a valve grinder, but they are usually used in a brace. It is missing the other spanner and the blade. It also appears to be welded to the shaft not free. A little side play prevented offsets.

[phiil]

If'n I'da knowed what it was, I don't think I'da given it away.....
Also, I just made a major investment in self-adjusting gronicles, so I don't need to carry around things like that. My compass has enough trouble without carrying around extra bits of iron.
