Name That Tool

[K'ledgeBldr]

OK- It's that time again! Lets play "Name That Tool!"

A little background, the tool does have some kind of ID number stamped on it- but there is no match through Google. I kindda inherited the thing through either my Dad or Uncle- Both worked for GM for many years, but I don't know if it's a GM specific tool (assembly line?), or some other brand specific.

Any how as you can see there is quite a bit of machining/work went into the thing.

My guess would be an assembly line tool for installing windscreens and the like.

yeh looks like the tool for adding the center insert on rubber window seals.

Your illustration certainly fit the bill- I guess the other end would be for pulling out the insert.

Where did the illustration come from?

googled 'rubber window insert tool.'. actually made one out of coat hanger to fit alpine windows in my old Landrover discovery..

 

[K'ledgeBldr]

OK, I'm convinced that that is what the tool is-

But I do find it a bit weird that all of those manufacturers who market similar products market them as separate items (one for inserting, one for removing-pulling the lip)- where mine has each on opposite ends.

Thanx Lee

I've seen them like yours. Mine is 2 separate tools like you stated.

If it's an assembly line tool as opposed to a re fit tool then having all the stuff you need in one hand would make sense.. re fitters tend to carry a tool box around..

 

[dave89iroc]

agreed, likely an assembly line tool

Manufacturer would make one in the shop that did both, for efficiency, I assume. Tool seller would make it into two different tools so they could sell more stuff.
