What is it. Some kind of chuck key?
« on: November 06, 2020, 08:21:43 AM »
This is 6-1/4" long. 3/4" diameter turned down to 3/8" diameter. The ears are 1/16" wide. Was full of crud when I got it and washed off nice. Any ideas?

reminds me of a split saw screw driver; something like this:  https://toolsforworkingwood.com/store/item/GT-SPLIT.XX

It could be a carb tool. Sometimes jets use a similar driver.
All my taste is in my tools.

I’m with J.A.F.E. on this one. I had a Proto like that that I got back in the very early ‘60’s. Never did use it. A screwdriver worked just as well.
