Let's play, "What the Hell is it?"

[softailgarage]

So, I came upon this "thing" while unloading a recently purchased tool chest. What the Hell is it? Anybody?

It’s a doohicky
I have a couple in my garage as well
Here is a different style than the one you have made by Fenton’s, it's a little pricey though

 

[upndown]

Sphincter valve?

Maybe a snap setting tool? As in the kind of button snaps one attaches to fabrics sorta like a rivet?

Looks like your standard, every-day muffler bearing.

Sure is a nice one, in good condition too.

NO idea but...If it says "SNAP-ON" its worth $3600.00 or with discount $3599.99
If it says "PITTSBURGH Pro" its worth $0.79 or with coupon $0.59

I have something that looks similar. Its for removing and installing valve keepers. you put one side over the valve stem, and with the valve supported on the face end, hit it with a hammer. The keepers 'pop" into the tool. To install, you put the keepers in the other part of the tool, again hit with a hammer, and it "pops" them back on. Don't remember why I bought it, but I do know i only used it a couple of times. Is there a magnet inside somewhere? If so, that may just be what it is.
