Been on Holiday in Devon and bought some tools at a car boot, inc. was this ???
What is it for, any ideas please?
-
The ends might be a clue :stars
-
Something to do with tyre valves ???
-
The forked thingy could remove a tyre valve, the other one could deflate, seem over engineered for such a task though, but then, they carry the broad arrow mark :shakeinghead
-
Can you put a scale against them?
-
Scale as requested :tiphat
also to add, the ball shape on the end of the big item has a very small hole through it which does seem to bend as pictured :stars
-
Could they be for lining up and then opening up bifurcated rivets?

MILSPARES NATO NUMBER 5120-99-124-0460 Tool,wire Locking ? - closest I can find to buy today is called LIMITED ACCESS SAFETY / LOCK WIRE TWISTER 18" - AIRCRAFT TOOL
-
I'm going with the tire theory.
-
As said :tiphat I think that the small item must be to remvove tyre valve cores and as they were sold as a pair could the big item be used to pushed throgh the hole in a punctured tyre and with a thin wire hoop on the end (pull a bung, or as I've seen a loop of liquid rubber coated string, knoted on the inside to form a running repair :agh)
but someone must know the truth as it seems to be well made and others might be out there, porhaps part of a army truck tool kit, just somthing to think about when overtaking one on a motorway :whistle
-
Ah HA! The long tool is for pulling the valve body up into the rim.
-
The long tool is a Floggle Toggle wobble bar & the short tool is a Floggle Toggle Butterfly Spring fettler. :wooly-jumper
