Almost looks like a "spigot" for a natural gas type of appliance or lantern that you would have at your house.
I had a bicycle crank puller once that looked very similar to that. So I will guess some sort of puller (gear, crank, pulley or etc.)
I suppose. I tried it before and it never worked for me. I'll have to try it again sometime. As to what could be easier, certainly not a smartass comeback, because I am at a loss.
I guess that is close enough. It is an AC clutch puller from way back in the day when i was a mechanic.
Not much, once someone points to it and says "Hey dummy that 'Upload a File' button is for uploading files such as photos and the like". Thanks Red, you helped me subtract Photobucket from the equation.
