1 1/4"

Don't know where I got this, but I have no idea what it was made for. Someone did a pretty nice job making it. It has 24 splines and a 3/8" drive. Very likely automotive related, and I'd have to guess transmission related. What do y'all think? Thanks.

A few months ago I tried to find info about this little tool and came up with nothing. I guess I should've searched again before posting. But, I did get a lotta good info about it. Anyhow, thanks to all!

I have Cal-Van puller #192. The forcing screw tip is missing. Any ideas where to find another or if it is interchangeable with another brand? Thanks!

I have a few of this pocket tool in different brands and varying conditions. Photographed this one (the worst) because it was the one in my hand when I decided to post it here. There are 2 markings: one, a distinctive "USA" and the other simply "265C". I've had no luck with Google. An ID would...

I'm sure they do, but my inquiry concerns only one brand. I don't remember running across this one before and it piqued my curiosity.

Well, that sure looks like their stamp. Maybe I missed it, but do we know what 'ETC' stands for?

Yep, I know what it is and how it works. "ACDelco Power Tools introduced ETC Electronic Torque Control tools specifically to solve under-/over-torquing issues." Doesn't seem to fit this tool as it has nothing to do with electronics nor torque accuracy. In this instance it seems to be more of a...

This tool was apparently made by ETC. I can find NOTHING about ETC whatsoever. Does anyone know anything about this maker, like what the acronym stands for or basic company history? I suppose that it may be 'TEC' instead of 'ETC', but still nothing. Thanks for anything.

They look like sliding t-bar sockets. Double-ended is neat. Don't recall ever seeing any like that before. You said both ends fit a nut...Are they 6-point? What are the stamps not shown?

No photos attached.

Looks identical to a Sears 3-ton floor jack I had years ago. I got it used in the mid-80's, if that helps.

Well, I was close, in a non-specific way. Thanks!

Heard lots of guesses on this one when I showed it around. Most agreed that it looked like some sort of medical device. Didn't have much hope of getting it identified but 14 minutes after I posted it, you named it. To my surprise, I may actually use it! Many thanks for the help.

I've had these for quite awhile. I just can't help myself, I buy tools that I'll never use. Sometimes I buy them because I don't know what they are and they're really cheap. Like these. The first looks like maybe some sort of strip metal rolling? Banding? The second I have absolutely no idea.
