Does anyone know what this is used for? It's a half inch drive marked 13/16 CR-MO. The top has nut type grooves. Thanks.

"nut type grooves"?

No downward spiraling to the threads? Stacks of raised rings?

"Nut type grooves"? Do you mean threads. If so, are they left hand?

Yes I meant to say threads. Yes they are left handed threads.

I did a google after KnurledNut said what it was, and I found ones just like it. I have a Craftsman Set but it doesn't look like that.

Yea... the modern "extractors" that I have... have a much more angled thread. Providing a bite with a bit of hammering before twisting off. YOURS however look like it was meant to simply left twist it on. Very interesting design. Thanks for sharing.
