What tool is this?

[Orange_stang]

I got this tool handed down to me along with a bunch of other tools and I have no idea what it is; can someone tell me what it is?

Any patent #s on it?

Looks like a thread chaser ...

Adjustable thread chaser. I have one and have used it...

Thanks, now I just need to figure out how to use it.

Pick the right pitch die, clamp on spindle and spin. Used commonly on spindles, trailers and full float axle tubes that have some failure and ***** up the tube.

If you need to use that, some bad shiz already happened. Nice to have in your box, even nicer if you never need to use it.

Thanks, just looked up a vid on YouTube, and your right hope I never have to use it.

OTC is the make (Matco also rebranded them).

OS: thanks for posting this WTF tool is this because i own a lot of tap and dies and didn't know this existed. also found the Youtube and looks like another good use for my vises.

I couldn't tell you if it's missing any pieces so i'll watch and learn to see if it is.

cheers
