Featured Just found out how to use this thang...

I knew generally what this was but was clueless about how exactly it was used and had to ask. Now I know. Do you know what it is and/or how it is used? 12 x 4 x 1.25”, steel, one piece, not a tuning fork.

 

Part of a Gear Puller?

 

A reasonable guess, but not correct.

 

I have seen something similar for working on brakes, so that is all I've got LOL

 

Looks similar to a tool used on suspension.

 

Not related to vehicles.

Hint: Machinists like them

 

Lifting, moving heavy dies?

 

No but at least we’re thinking machine shop now.

I guess I should share one secret of success in the whatzit game. If there are any alphanumerics visible, they can often provide the key; usually more reliable than trying to figure it out from the general images alone.

That’s probably obvious to veteran whatzitites, but I guarantee you that no one who has posted here so far has done that or they’d have won already.

 

Some sort of a "STOP" to keep your fingers from getting chopped off!!!!!!

 

Could be a PICKLE FORK for separating ball joints though should be tapered.
For popping loose drillpress bits and/or lathe chuck tools?

 

DETROIT MICHIGAN......GA?SONS GRIP......NO 110......and I haven't a clue!!!!!

EDIT: 110, RADISONS??? Still doesn't help MEEEE!!!!

Samson’s Grip no. 110 wishbone is a milling hold-down-- Just ye olde generic milling clamp. Put the fork end on the block and put the little nub on the work. Put the stud and nut close up to the work and as far from the blocking as possible. These things hold like nobody's business.

and DO NOT ask me what the H..... that is!!!!! That's what BING said with YOUR image!!!!!

 

Oooo gettin’ warm there but I think u need to enlarge my photo to read it correctly. At least that’s what Delilah tells me.

 

Something to use for forging with fire? Just a guess, this is not my area whatsoever.

 

I GOT it above, but someone sure had a funny way of stamping out the word SAMSONS!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ok, progress, but you aren’t quitting there are ya? What’s “the rest of the story?” Wat du it du?

 

I assume it isn't a tuning fork, for tuning one's contrabass viol.....whack it, you get a nice note about eight octaves below middle C.

 

Clue no. 94:

 

Spring.....did you go about 4 posts back up???? Like I said....That's ALL I know!!! Above!!!!

 

Something to do with a lathe...perhaps. I'm pretty ignorant about machinery though - just googling around a bit brought me to that suggestion.
