No, it's definitely a tool, not a toy. I know I've used it before too, in the past. Just, old timer's has set in and I can't remember half the junk I used to know anymore. LOL. And to be clear, I'm pretty dang certain there are at least ten or fifteen other tools around here that I won't be...

No, I'm 100% certain it isn't that. Ugh, it just bugs me that I can't remember what this is for after having had to figure it out once before a few years back. Damn God it.

I'm afraid I don't agree. It really depends on the actual condition of the mechanics of the device. Mine is cheap, comparatively, and yet, it lasted MANY, MANY years before I inherited it and has now lasted MANY years since going through it. I expect it to outlast me, and believe me, I beat the...

Nobody got nothing huh? Dang it. Fair 'nuf though.

Those definitely seem to not be helpful replies. But, ok.

Absolutely sure it came "with" something. Some kit or something, but again, I really think it's meant for alignment while drilling a specific "must be in this exact spot" type hole or something. But again, IDK for sure. This is going to drive me nutty. LOL.

I do have one. A workmate 425, but the dogs are nothing like this. They look like this. Nice try though, I was almost like yes, but then no. LOL.

Yes, it passes all the way through and I'm halfway sure it IS some sort of alignment tool, but I cannot for the life of me remember WHAT it's supposed to be used to align. And, I could be wrong too. If I was sure, I wouldn't be asking, right? LOL. But I'm pretty dang sure it's not any sort of...

Damn. Because I know I figured it out once before on a google search, few years back, but now, that really doesn't work as well as it used to. AI, ahem, seems to not be improving things. Just sayin'.

No. It's a tool of some kind. For alignment on something, and drilling, just can't remember what. But thanks for the time to chime in though.

So, I know I used to know what this is, and that I ought to, but old timer's is setting in, LOL. Any idea what this is as I am going through a small mess in part of my garage and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it's for. I know it's one of those things I didn't get rid of because I...

I know this is a fairly old thread, well, kind of. Three years isn't the worst necro ever, but I felt like addressing some of the misinformation here was necessary. Having rebuilt over 500 engines, from start to finish, and probably some level of partial overhaul for at least another 500, I can...

Except that I KNEW all of them were either instructors, or master certified technicians, or both, and I have no idea at all about who you are or what your credentials are, so it's kind of hard to attach value to you "being the first". And I mean absolutely no offense by that at all. As far as...

Old thread, I know, sorry for that, but came across it and had to add some input to this conversation since clearly it's something that still finds it's way onto people's browsers from time to time. Plus, I completely disagree with much of what has been said in this thread. I've attended and...

Thank you Wild Bill. I had a feeling it was something like that because of the half inch drive variable position ratchet hole, which is also found on modern serpentine belt tensioner tool extensions, but I was not sure of it by any means. Appreciate the insight.
