    What Is It?......

    Hello, It's time to play "What Is It" (again )

    I acquired this item in with a bunch of stuff (junk) from a retail store closing and I have no clue as to what it is!
    The handle is 4 1/2" long and is aluminum (reminds me a lot of the old Hurst T-handle shifter grips....remember those? ) From one end there is a straight (tapered) hardened steel "shaft" with a bead on the end and it protrudes 2" from the handle....On the other end is a (tapered) hardened steel "shaft" with a curve or hook at the tip (also with a bead on the end)
    The O.A. length is 8 1/2"

    I hope someone knows "What Is It"

    Ooh! I know!

    It's an invalid attachment.

    They're not worth much.

    Whoa. I see them now. It looks dangerous.

    Knowing you have this, I'm wishing I was less confrontational.

    It looks to me like a leather working tool.

    The hooked ends seems as if this is for pulling springs onto some sort of anchor.

    Mike,

    That looks like the tool used to tie rebar. Either bulk wire or "bag ties" with looped ends. At least that's what the hooked end is for, i've not seen one with a straigt end like yours.

    I also think it is for pulling some sort of string or ribbing for upholstery. I think if it did something with metal wire it would have more wear on it plus it doesn't swivel so twisting isn't really all that easy with this. I have to get up at 6:00 and drive an hour and a half to work tomorrow morning and now I can't stop wondering what that is. Thanks a lot at least my mind has drifted from my table saw slider addition.

    Looks to me like it would work pretty good to put glass in cars using those rubber grommets.

    It's a tool used for installing one-piece rubber gasket in cars windows. Here's a link for a similar one for sale:
