How did I ever live without one of these.
I'll let interested parties guess what it's for and if no correct guesses,I'll put you out of your suspenders.

Home made seal puller?

A device for extracting small children from horse's hooves?

Failing that, something to do with tyre removal/fitting?

don't care......it's snap-on

It’s a warning wear.

Brake tool of some description. A very old one. Snap-on haven't used that particular logo for decades.

If you like, you can take that back to Snap-on for a brand nw replacement, as that one has chrome peel !!

What an ingenious tool. Unfortunately I don't think I have a need for one. Wouldn't stop me buying one, of course...

I think it's for fitting stand springs. I made a spring puller out of a coat hanger and a bit of dowel.....

The hook on a Swiss Army knife is good for that.
Think its supposed to be for carrying parcels wrapped in string.

To be fair, I also made one out of a coathanger.

I may need one in the future....

old bicycle spoke and a bit of old handlebar has been my spring puller for decades.

What scale are they? I can't tell if they're 3 feet long, or 3 cm. I have some dentist picks that are very similar - but not much use for brake springs!

They easy enough to make from a screwdriver if you have a grinder and a suitable source of heat
