Sounds like one of them thar Cummins diesel blower disassembly tools. Either that or it came out of Elvira's bag of tricks. A picture would definitely help . . . or maybe not. I haven't a clue. I would suspect a very specialized, limited use item at best. (blower tool is a SWAG) Darrell -----Original Message----- From: John Nasta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 08 January, 2002 11:13 AM To: Chevelle List; Olds Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-List] name that tool Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List ------------------------------------------------------------ A friend of mine just gave me a bunch of tools. There are a lot of specialty items and one of them is something I've never seen before. It is a steel rod about 5/8" in diameter and 15 inches long, with a slight bend toward one end. About an inch after the bend, the rod ends with a taper and then a ball. Attached to the ball is a 1-inch long cylindrical thing that swivels on the ball. That "cylinder" is wider in the ball area, but then stepped back for the last quarter inch or so to a narrower diameter of about 3/4-inch. Near the end, but still on the side of that cylinder (in the 3/4" diameter area), is a spring-loaded ball like the kind you see on a ratchet handle to prevent the socket from falling off. So, it seems to me that the 3/4" diameter part is supposed to be inserted into something, and the spring-loaded ball is meant to keep that something from falling off. Since the end piece just swivels, it is definitely not a wrench of any kind. Does this sound familiar to anybody? If necessary I can snap a quick picture.
