Title: Wood Handled Whatzit
Post by: OilyRascal on July 25, 2012, 08:46:38 PM
No maker's markings.  8" long.  Has what appears to be old #1 gasket sealer on the tip.  I can guess how it WAS used, but I'm not at all sure that was it's purpose.

Just a guess but how about for instaling windshields etc. the old ones that had the heavy rubber  gasket that held the window in.

I got a home made one that looks like this.  Somebody had turned a screwdriver into a paint can opener.  Mine works good.

Would it work for scraping oil grooves in babitt bearings?

Seal puller perhaps?

If this one was "rigged" by PO it's escaping my eye uncleaned.  I need to clean it now and see what more I can find.

<shrugs shoulders>  I dunno!  Never worked with Babbitt except in bridling the horse head of a well.

Seal puller perhaps?

That was my thought, but it certainly isn't anything like the modern day version I have.
