Identify this snap on tool.

Anyone know what this tool is used for? Bottom of handle has a threaded stud with hex center and 10mm nut threaded on. Top of handle has a 10 bolt threaded on.

Never seen it before and it has no part number on it.

It looks like a home brew tool. It seems kinda odd that they would drill through the "USA" on the back.

probably a side handle for a die grinder or something of the sort. I think the PT410 die grinder has one. Might be home made as well as i don't think the ones they sell have the head of the screw/bolt showing on the **** of the handle. I could be mistaken on that though as I've never seen one up close

I was going to say a handle and nut & bolt.

It is a demo piece for thin wall sockets to show how well they work in limited access applications.

Yes you are missing the foam block with the 4 sockets 1 craftsman 10mm deep 3/8 drive, one Matco, one Mac and one snap on. The demo shows that the snap on is the only one that is thin diameter wise enough to fit in the end of the handle to get to the nut. Also the other end shows the advantage of the shallow broaching on the snap on you can put the nut in your deep 10 mm snap on socket and still start the nut on the threaded rod

It looks like a punch and chisel holder that is missing a piece

Ok, that makes perfect sense. Thanks everyone for the info.

I was gonna say some sort of home made tool, but the "demo" makes sense. Any Snap-On reps wanna chime in?

My rep has this on his truck we were just fooling with it on Wednesday
