Tool ID

[Levaughn]

Hello all. I picked up this green handled tool at an Estate Sale yesterday. It was in a box along with the other two pictured items. I don't know if it's tube flaring related or if belongs to a set. I got them all for a four bucks. Could someone ID the tool and explain it's purpose. Thanks in advance.

There is a shaft that slides in and out of the tube.

Kinda reminds me of a machinists telescoping gauge ( snap gauge ). Are there any markings on it?

The second pic is for tube flaring and the third pic is part of a tube flaring set.

For bushings?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that there were no markings on it.

Is it the right size to place over a Zerk fitting?
If so, a hit with a hammer would unblock a clogged fitting.

The piece that slides inside the shaft does not protrude past the end of the opening of the shaft. It stop right there. It appears the handle and shaft were welded. I overlooked that part.
