More Whatizits

Is there a piece of it missing? Looking at the threaded section down by the drill bit.. Thinking maybe you put the threads of whatever it is in there, and maybe another piece goes on to complete the claim shell, and then the bit center drills it..

 

Wild guess, but maybe something for drilling out the electrode in a spark plug? Not sure if that's even a thing, but I figured it was better than no guess at all.

No, nothing missing.  I like the center drill idea.    No spark plugs involved.

Give me 3-4 more good guesses and I'll drop a clue.

       Tap..Tap….Tap           Did you give up?

I'm still here at but I don't have any good guesses.

 

 

Been meaning to find something at home to post.

Eventually I'll remember....

Dental drill?

I can see fully how this works. Essentially it is designed to slip what ever is worked on on the bottom. Then the second adjustment threads down into that precising centering it  with the bit. There seems to be also some sort of "key" aligning method. Then third step seems to be bringing down bit close to it, then finally turning lever to drill out what ever it is.

Looks like what ever it is it removes is small.Just cant think what.

Great, you guys are thinking again.      There were some clues above.   This should help.

Some type of water valve or fitting?

What’s the overall length?

Did that help?

Valve core removal tool??

To drill out stripped screw when changing fawcett seal?

[Ed Kennell 41,790]

This tool may have been obsolete before you youngens had an opportunity to use it.         Before all faucets came with replaceable  cartridges, the faucet body contained a cup that centered a rubber washer that was held in place by a slotted brass screw.    When the washers wore out and needed replaced, the brass screws either broke off or the heads were corroded away.

So this tool was used exactly as Cas described above to drill out the old screw.

Before my time, that’s for sure 😂

I doubt I’d have gotten it alone

I want one! Just recently that happened to me on one that had not been operated in perhaps over 20 years. Still available?

Crest Mfg. Co. made this one.      They may now be Crest Good  Mfg.

[formariz 12,040]

Here we go. Most likely unknown by most.

Interesting lookin mode of torture...

 

Seems as though the round handle would go through the hole on the curved piece. Producing leverage? ...or perhaps locking it into a given position?

 

I'll be looking forward to seeing what the hints are on this one.

[formariz 12,040]

Good thinking. its a pretty simple device. Hand forged by a blacksmith. This one is  probably 40 years old but they been around for hundreds of years.

Looks like a tent steak and the handle for removing.

Not even close but I really like your answer. Very imaginative thinking.

[stevasaurus 23,274]

Would it be used to lock down a piece of wood that you are working on...  on a carpenters bench. 

[formariz 12,040]

How would it do that?
