Mystery tool ??

[DBSTools]

Old barrel type ratchet tool. Not sure what this is for. Anyone??

I added another picture, this side as a threaded end that must have attached to another handle to rotate the working end.

 

[rlitman]

It will remain a mystery until you attach a picture, or a more complete description.

 

[NUTTSGT]

A picture would help dramatically.

 

[Outlawmws]

And the answer from the mighty Carnac is,,,

Nope got nothin'

 

[Rust]

it's for muffler bearings

 

[malibu101]

It might be a blinker fluid checker.
Or it could be a fender gasket remover.
But I really believe that it is a flux capacitor installation tool.

It's a Thingamajig Whosamawhat Whatchamacallit

 

[Daniel Dudley]

It holds a die for cutting pipe threads. What do I win ?

 

[Erampu]

I have one just like it. Would anyone like to buy it?

 

[Krash Kadillak]

Framis reconabulator?

 

[Zeke]

That's the kind you put air in the handle.

 

[crewchief888]

probably a floton modulation valve adjusting tool.

 

[RVDan]

Maybe it's used for ratcheting barrels?

 

[NUTTSGT]

You guys are so demented.

 

[Steevo]

[Hannibal Hector]

Relative Bearing press...

 

[nehog]

I've got a whole bunch of those Gramps gave me. Mostly say Snapon on the side. A couple Craftsman. Never get used.

 

[Alchymist]

[magova1104]

Love this forum!

 

[Awfulcanawful]

entabulator?

 

[ron b]

ratcheting adapter used with a speed handle or old beam style torque wrench

 

[Steve.S]

Bolt head rounder?

Battery drainer?

Antifreeze heater?

 

[Shadowdog500]

One of these???

 

[Duck]

Nope, you're all wrong.
I have the remains of one of these, WWII vintage.
It's a gonculator.
Or maybe a hooty....

[kald]

It's electrical. It's a negative power coupling adjuster.

 

[tool-guy]

It's for catching fish farts, which are then sold to spirit level manufacturers for the bubbles in their spirit levels. Anyone would know that fish farts produce the most accurate bubbles ever put into a spirit level.

 

[RVDan]

It has something to do with the phlogiston theory

 

[DIC]

Duz it require lubrication... Is it a *** toy

 

[mitusa]

A thingamabob to do the job

 

[Mr.Magoo]

Hitch a ride on the Time Machine and you can go revisit the factory when it was made. The other tool is a Stanley 12 measuring tape, although we use 25 and 30 footers nowadays.

Anyways... yeah thats a mystery to me. It kinda looks like a valve...
my wilda$$ guess is: some sort of vintage valve lash adjustment tool
