Gordon R Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Has anyone any idea what this is. I bought another load of tools I don't really need and this was in amongst them. It screws up and down - only thing I could think of was a circlip compressor, but they would be HGV size circlips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Looks workshop made, as you say, for pulling or compressing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCB56 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 It reminds me of the circlip pullers we used to use on National Forging Presses, the circlips were upto 24" in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I do love these `Do you know what this is?` threads. As always, there`s at least one knowledgeable person on PW who knows exactly what things are for and do. Keep them coming OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 15 Author Report Share Posted February 15 I think it would need to have three or four prongs for an O ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 15 Author Report Share Posted February 15 Thanks for that. I have more tools than you can point a stick at, but had never come across one of these. I'm sure one of my lad's mates will make use of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 Tool given to one of my son's mate, who is a Volkswagen mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge911 Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 It's the tool for removing fitting the horrible spring clips that held the front pipe in place on VW golf and Scirocco in early 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
