On my key ring as well. How else do you eat soup??


And this one...it's very specific and unless you have one I doubt any of you will guess !!!
And, no, it's NOT a Colt 45 bushing tool.

Sight alignment guide and multi tool for the hands-down best rifle ever designed. My numbers-matching scoped Tula is my deer rifle.

Interesting. I always thought a church key and a P38 were the same thing. I guess I was wrong.

Being an old guy isn't so bad...

I went out to the garage... got side tracked with Coleman stoves and lanterns... double shear hinges... Destaco latches and stuff. I did find something but didn't take a picture. It's cold out there... I need to put some pants and a hoodie on.

You sir win the grand prize!!!!! I didn't think anyone would be familiar with it, much less what it does.
I have a collection of old military bolt action rifles and have the proper tools for each. Some really weird tools for some really off the wall firearms.
The second tool I listed is the take down tool for the Springfield Model 1903 and the 03-A3 variants.

Nailed it! It's literally for tying and cutting zip ties hahaha.... I really never knew what this was until I typed in the name on it. I would have never guessed to try it on zip ties.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Well this one has been stumping people on the other thread.
I thought that was identified. My guess was going to be “wire tie tensioner/cutter”


Oops. I answered before reading the rest of the thread

Self-lubing enema nozzle.
That is an old oil can nozzle/funnel , used on the old oil cans used up until the 70's (pre plastic bottle era).
Sharp end would pierce the can top when you pushed it down onto can top, and then provide a funnel to put oil into vehicle.
