Nope and nope.   Though the spring adjuster is in the right direction.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

Although I can't see the picture from here because of work net restrictions, I'm going to guess that it is an idle screw adjusting tool, probably one of the funnier looking one- say for a late '70s GM car with a Q-jet on it.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Sorry that I thought it was funny how you apparently couldn't see the picture of the tool yet you gave such a detailed description of a tool you thought it might be. 
:confused: :huh:

Well, it is made to adjust something...in particular a VW. Not a shock absorber though.

Looks like a head bolt adjuster.

You can have my turn. I rummaged through my toolbox and didn't find anything quirky enough.

I'll have to take my camera into work. I've got one thing I don't even know what it's called. Only what it was made to fix a very long time ago.

I've seen a lot of those cans in my life.

So, let's see if anyone can guess what this "special tool" is?  BTW, "JCD" is the previous owner's initials, not part of the original tool markings.





Yell "uncle" when you give up.

It doesn't go over the whole cap.  You just lodge it in beneath the edge, like a lighter.
