old snap on. what is it?

[boostedgt]

this was in an old toolbox full of tools i bought at an estate auction. i think it's a screwdriver? anybody know anything about it? i have never seen anything like it. snap on V-21-E looks to be from the 50's?

i know someone here will know about it

Its mine, cough.

It is a valve adjustment tool, you put the correct size socket on it for the licknut of the valve and you can loosen the locknut and then turn the other part to adjust the valve.

I have been searching for a decent priced one on eBay for a while so if you wanna sell it let me know.

that dates to 1952, see the z shapped symbol, it is a date code, look at my image you will see it as 1952
