Anybody have and ideas what this is? It's a 3/8" allen wrench on one end and a small hook on the other.

If I had to guess it's a service tool meant to uninstall a flange and replace an o-ring.

Large vacuum flanges often use socket head screws.



edit: Actually, it almost looks like a set chisel someone bent into a hook tool. Hmmm...

Maybe its a Seal puller / o ring tool that's coincidentally made of hex tool steel ??

that is a heavy duty seal puller

I bought a tool like that at HF a few months ago that was sold as a headlight spring puller or installer or something like that. I just looked at their web page and couldn't find it.
