I think they make suspension tools (spring testers from their site) but they also made other stuff. Well...if it's not "strong" steel it's probably some sort of probe or possibly a set. If it's got a "number" on it, try looking it up by that.

 

[volkstony]

no number on it all. its aluminum

Aha! it must be a back scratcher! I really dont know what it is. hope you find a use for it!

 

[volkstony]

yeah i am really hoping to find out what it is. it is very unique

Are there any numbers on it? I think it is a type of trim or glass removal tool. Rimac made mostly automotive specific misc tools life filter wrenches, pullers, brake tools, scrapers, etc.

maybe a break in tool? does it look like the bends were machine made or like somebody just bent it?

Rimac makes valve spring testers. Its posible an engine tool. Probably old and useless now.

 

[outdoorsman310]

maybe to hold valves in cyl head while changing valve seals

 

[volkstony]

there are no numbers the bends look to be made by the company. i imagine it is an auto tool

 

[volkstony]

well i have researched every idea given except for the scratchers. i still cant find anything. i hope someone out there can help me.

 

[ChevyEFI]

did you contact Rimac?

 

[volkstony]

that was actually my next step i was just hoping someone has used or seen this tool before
