ANOTHER "TOOL IN A SOCKET" TOOL
« on: November 10, 2013, 04:06:29 PM »
The last one I  came up with had a socket inside a socket and had a name on it and eventually one of our experts found out what it was used for.  This one has a strange screwdriver bit that  pivots on it's shaft and this tool has no markings on it.  It would be easy to call it a valve adjusting tool, but this is different in some respects.

TIA

Just a wild guess , but might be a faucet tool?

I'd go for some sort of automotive valve lapping tool....

I forgot to mention that the inside has a 12 point 5/8" socket shape.

Thinking faucet tool also, for extracting cartridge type faucet cores...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Rusty, that would explain the lack of a brand name....maybe.....
