Title: Snap-on tool
Post by: Northwoods on January 07, 2021, 10:16:56 AM

OK, folks, what is the odd tool to the right in this ebay offering/
Drag link adjusting tool?
Can't find a mention of it.
Odd, generic logo.

I've never seen a tool like that. All the drag link adjusters I've seen were sockets. Looks almost home made onto an old Snap-On handle of some kind. Definitely not a woodworking tool by any means.  :grin:

Everything's a woodworking tool given the need and dire circumstances.  :grin:

Looks the the end of a tool that you would use for separating leaf springs for greasing?? Or maybe Offset screwdriver?
