Does any body know what this is used for?

 

[Old Man Roger]

Is the pin spring loaded, like a center punch?

 

[Oldsoul]

Yes it is and there is a lil blade in it.

 

[Oldsoul]

Thats the blade.

Could be a trochar. Some spell it 'trocar.' Better be suited-up (full PPE) when that knob on the end is pulled-out by the surgeon when it's used on a trauma call.

 

[Oldsoul]

So it a medical instrument.

 

[driftpin]

Looks like it to-me.

Does it work like a center punch?

 

[Oldsoul]

Thank you for the thoughts. It does not have the power of a center punch tho. If it were used on metal it whould wrek the point.

But does it work like one? Maybe designed for wood only? Does it do that click that increases the impact?

First thing I thought of was a swivel knife. Seems like too many parts though.

Yea it has 5 clicks of tension. It almost looks like a scribe of some sort. I got it out of a old toolbox.

 

[Old Man Roger]

Maybe some type of adjustable chisel? For fine wood work?
