Tool Identification?
We are sorting some of John's father's and grandfather's carpenter tools----we want to take the good ones to a friend in Bahia Asuncion.
We came across the tool pictured below and have no idea what it is???
Thanks
Diane

It's a "puller" for a fan belt pulley on a car or something like that.

Ya that's gonna come in handy. Better carry it in you pocket.

Yes A Puller!
Many of which I sold during the 10 years selling Sanp-on Tools in Los Banos, Dos Palos and Chowchilla Calif.
Let me know if you want another just like that One.

You may not want to carry it in your pocket but it should be in your tool box if you want to connect a gas water heater or gas stove, most gas lines
use flared fittings in Mexico...

Yes but you have to have the other part as Grover shows. Skeet take a second look.

A hammer and a piece of hardwood dowel would probably flare copper tubing. A piece of rebar ground to the correct angle.

I have a couple. If you build machines you will have this in your toolbox for hydraulic tubing. I have one that has inserts so you can make
"double-flairs" . Keeps the edge from splittiing when using thin-walled tubing.
We always call it a "flairing tool"
edit; these flairs work well for softer metals. Thick-walled stainless, monel and some other exotic steels use a product called a "swedgelock" and are
used in aviation, high-pressure dive systems etc for HP systems typically >1000psi. A super strong seal.
Like who really cares?

Yea---too much information.
Seriously, I appreciate all the responses----think I will hang it on the wall. Doesn't sound like it would be of any use to our carpenter friend.

Oh that's all...and here I was thinking after reading the post header that something really went down sideways and there was a genitalia line-up for
someone to ID the offending member.

all wrong - it is a mideval torture device - simply place arm in and turn screw - kind of like a thumb screw but larger - most spill their guts
quickly....
