Name that tool

The Workshop

So I’ll add to the game…
This has two answers, the tool has been modified.

  1. What was its original purpose (which I no longer need) when the long allen key had the usual 90 deg end and was used in conjunction with the sleeve.
  2. I’ve since re-purposed the long allen key, cut off the 90 deg end and provided a larger hex, the sleeve is no longer used. What do I use it for now?

We have safely established @Iron’s encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Triumph. To that we can now add lawnmowers. Where will it end, I ask myself? :grin:

Correct. :slightly_smiling_face:
For a car I had in the early 80’s.
The long allen key is now re-used along with extensions on a 1/4 drive socket set to access the clamps on the throttle body rubbers when doing a valve check on my Speed Triple. :+1:

In my best @Iron impression…
Over

Well done collective. Here’s a pretty easy one to settle your nerves, but for which bike? And what colour was it? :smile:
