Vintage snap on tool. No clue what it is for. Help.

The title says it all friends. Any idea what this was for? Thanks in advance.

 

I would say it's an extension for a torque wrench to get into a specialized place, possibly on some kind of vehicle. The square end will fit the torque wrench.

Like these......

go on the end of this........

 

I had to look twice to read snap on....not strap on...

 

Just your picture or is the closed end horribly 'rounded off'?

 

u mean like the grooves are stripped..?

 

yep, Komokwa, exactly what I'm questioning. what does the picture look like to you?

 

Give me a few. I’ll upload a better pic of that end.

 

that end looks like it's had a long hard life......but the pic is not clear enough or straight on for me to say for certain...

still..... yer question is valid.....as the metal looks disturbed...

 

I've seen a few abused tools in my life.

 

"Torque Adaptor. For lower control arm attaching bolt on 1961 Nash and Rambler. 834" long, 15/i6" double hex open¬ ing. Use with a TQ-150 Torqometer. Set Torqometer dial at % the desired torque."

Not many '61 Nashs or Ramblers still around these parts.

 

Snap on have a life time warranty on their tools. My OH has had a few replaced by them so if it’s damaged find a snap on dealer and ask them to replace it!.

 

Or just sell it to a "car guy" into old Nashes, or an old car guy into old tools. There are plenty of both.

 

I tried to get a better pic and was just never able to get it right. But thank you so much guys!

 

You’re amazing for finding that!
