Weird Craftsman 1/2F-3/8M adapter

[jl4c]

I've had this adapter in my spare sockets for years. Don't remember where I got it--probably with a bunch of sockets at a pawn shop. I've never seen anything like it. As an adapter it's useless. The detent ball goes way too far into the socket to be of any use and it's rotated 45deg from where it "should" be. So I'm assuming this must be some sort of specialty adapter. Does anyone know what it is? I'd be happy to find it a new home.

That is weird. Any other markings besides Craftsman?

It does look familiar for some reason.

It has the "=V=" mark indicated it was made for Craftsman by Moore Drop Forging. Other than that, nothing.

Yep. It's used to extract the stud in all of us.

I think you guys got it right. Part of a stud extractor. I had to go back and look again at the pictures.
