steve_b_wales Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 This item was in a bag, with the wheel nuts from my new vehicle (locking nuts were fitted) and I've no idea what it is or what it's for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisdom Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Think it's too big for a fuse puller.Do you have a cover over the locking wheel nuts.It could be for removing the covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be the plastic clip that is now supplied to some cars so when you have to change a wheel you loosen the bolts then use this tool to remove them so doing that you do not get your fingers covered in brake dust.

It's yet another piece of plastic karp to add to the rest of the plastic karp that will end up in a land fill or a river in Asia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check tomorrow morning to see if it's anything to do with the wheel nuts. Makes sense really as it was in the bag containing the nuts.

spandit Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Doesn't look like any wheelnut tool I've seen. Can't see from the picture how it would work like that. What car did it come with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell them to stand closer, and tell them their not as big as they think, pointing down at the puddle they have left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Shot Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Brand new car? Possibly some form of suspension transit block that's been thrown in the boot by the tech when the car was PDI'd. Fitted at the factory to stop the car jiggling about too much during delivery transit. Should be removed on delivery prior to collection by the customer. Similar to those little plastic things wedged in the back of a new washing machine. Either that or a jacking aid as mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Can we see the other profile? I found this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32989386703.html and suspect it might be a puller for the covers in the link.
