    Mystery Tool

    I have 5 tool cabinets, some of them I built myself.
    This gives me a total of 54 drawers to store tools.
    The drawers are not identified as to their content.
    Never felt it necessary. I new where everything was stored.
    Did admire though the people who where that maticulous!
    Well, gues what? The other day I pulled this out of one of the drawers.

    And I have no idea what these are for.
    Father time is catching up to me.
    The threaded part has a 1/4 x 20 thread on it.
    The larger diameter section is knurled and the unthreaded studs are all of a different diameter.
    Anybody have an idea?
    I may have to start identifying the contents of my drawers.
    Thank you

    Was this something left in the cabinet before you owned it?
    Were there other tools in the cabinet?
    Sometimes the best way to investigate such odd things is to examine the items around it.
    To me it looks like a tool that might be used to align pieces of sheet metal before riveting.
    Well that was wrong.

    First my search was focused on how to search images with my good friend Dr. Google.

    My first image search turned up this > https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop...h?item=00K6110

    Easier than I thought.

    Thanks Jim.

    Good old Lee Valley. I used to live about 10 minutes from one of their stores in Toronto.
    Then they closed both Toronto stores.
    Too bad.
