lump Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I used to be a tire changer for a Goodyear store, several decades ago. I mounted lots of tires on lots of vehicles, and saw lots of unusual things. But I never have used a tire tool like this one, which was packed away in some of my dad's stuff in the attic. He must have gotten it someplace, and like me, not sure what it was for. Because this thing is rusty, and he took good care of his tools. Can anyone give me any specific info about it? Dimensions are about 15" long (38 cm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
