There’s an old saying “he’s so tight if you prize the cheeks of his arse apart a ha’penny would drop out” Looks like just the tool
Some of the old time tools and gee-gaws, nobody knows what they are for. In the 1850s an old time paddle wheel full of stuff headed to Montana, the Arabia hit a snag on the Missouri near Kansas City and sank quickly, salvage operations unsuccessful. The river changed course over the years, eventually it was found under 45 feet of silt and clay in a farm field in the 1980s, the mud excluded oxygen and everything found was almost perfectly preserved. But quite a few tool implements, they just don't know what the hell they are.
Forgot to mention i have used this twice in the last 10 years. After finding a very old factory made device for the same purpose that worked beter i left this one up in the attic. Must say the factory made device does,nt get used much either. Pics later.
Yes sir, Terrible80 got it . Here,s the good one with ratchet. Handy to patch those old roll around project tires.
You know I honestly was thinking it was tire related but thought Naw and hey...low and behold...I guess its those skinny ones...good stuff @Terrible80
Used to use blocks of wood, that tool would have been a leap forward. Sent from my LG-TP450 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
