What is this tool.

What is this tool and how is it used.

I don't have an answer myself.

I can't wait for the correct answer, because I also have no idea.

Are you sure there is not a second part?...it looks like some type of flaring tool

 

[bullbreaker]

Not 100 % sure but I think it might be a coconut opener I kid you not.

It's for putting on safty wire, for one thing aircraft. I would say more for rebar.

Looks like a chair to me.......

Now, the red thing sitting on the chair, that, I have no idea about.

It's a veterinarian tool for horses. It must be properly warmed in cold weather before use.

Some sort of temporary shut off valve. Ken Sweet

Is there any history that may give us a clue?

....and the veterinarian must not stand directly behind the horse when being used....

I think it is a depth gauge for checking concrete thickness as it is poured and before final finishing. Used on wide floors so you don't thin it out in the middle. Just turn the piece to the desired thickness and poke it in. The cone on the end is a little unusual but is probably intended to work the rocks in the concrete out of the way so the inspector gets a true reading.

I found this at a flea market.

It is about 18 in long.

The cone end spins freely, and it appears to sit in a saddle of some kind.

As you turn the handle the rod and cone assembly moves fwd.

How much you pay for it?

 

[murphy1244]

I'm thinking some kind of puller.

It looks to me like the lugs on opposing sides of the spindle part are supposed to hold it into >a missing part< where the "cone" can be screwed down into whatever...? possibly the same "missing part" would hold the "whatever"?

 

[whistlepig]

Does it have any markings on it?

 

[J_J]

No markings

The trunnion part I believe sits in a saddle of another part to push on something.

Whether it is auto related , or gas line, or part of a flare tool, I don't know.

I only paid $2 for it. Thought it was a dent puller.

It looks like it was inspired by the "Pear of Agony."
