    A tool to adjust something that has a reciprocating needle. Sewing machine or tatto gun?

    Nothing to do with a needle. Think about this. What item does every single person on this forum use every single day. It is used in relation to that.

    I'll even go one further. Every single person, except martin, even if he were still on the forum.

    That would make it a spring adjustment tool used on an automobile. Perhaps a counterweight doohickey.

    I'd guess I was with Red, assuming we all have cars. Maybe it has something to with with a capital letter.

    Nothing to go on. The thing has four blades that fold out at right angles and it has four rods that also fold out. It ain't a regular automotive tool or one of us would have recognized it, so it must be a specialized component. Maybe to adjust door locks or seat belt clutches or to remove air bags or some such shit that most of us never mess with.

    I'm gonna give Red the prize. It is a Radio removal tool for modern DIN radios in cars.

    I knew this one immediately. I will hold off for a while, since I'm curious to see how long it lasts.
