Default What the heck is this thing?
My favorite pizzeria has this thing in the pic on their counter. If you guess what it is, you get a free small pizza. I got busted taking the pics, so I can't claim the prize. So does anyone know what it is? Another costumer in there said he knew exactly what it was, but I told him not to say because I wanted to try and find out myself. He did say it was a plumber's tool. So I tried, but I couldn't figure it out. Anyone wanna take a guess. And if you do know and you're in Lewisburg, Pa, go to Mancini's Pizza and claim your prize.

De-burring tool. Takes the sharp burs off the inside of several different sized pipes.

Special tool for Sloan valves. It grips internal splines of various sizes and assembles or disassembles them

Same thing for tightening drain fittings, like shower drains.
