Help, I have never seen a use for this tool

[KYMISTWALKER]

Can someone show me what this is used for?

This is a family friendly place, as such no solutions can be offered.

I would find uses for that in maybe 30 seconds.

You could put a 1/4"-drive, 1/4" socket on one end and use a hex to turn it, with a socket (of any size) on the other end. Might come in handy if you don't have a normal ratchet to turn it with.

Or one of those bit ratchets that are really 1/4" drive

Did you buy the tools at auction or something

My great little 15 dollar power Skil screwdriver, has a double male joiner that is great for a lot of different mini sockets and torx bits with female ends. Used every oil change for the under carriage cover.

Witchcraft !!!
Only use I can see for this is some dedicated manual driver to make a combination socket wrench with, in some specific manufacturing process.

Like you need to manually drive 10 and 12 nuts repeatedly, and change the numbers from time to time.

I bought a bag of tools at a pawnshop

Wouldn't that be hex, not 1/4" square.

Looks like something that would be included in the 149 piece tool kit for Father's Day sales. Looks more convenient than it actually is, so it doesn't actually give away the store vs a more expensive tool kit.

A double-female would be more useful-- you could check calibration of your torque wrench against a known good beam wrench for example.

As it stands I have to use an Allen slug into a normal 6 pt socket to make my "double female" adapter.

Checks date on thread...



I've seen something sorta like that on a distributor wrench, sometimes with a short collar,

I'll look nest time i am in the garage.

You gotta be kidding

To do what? I bet make up an odd length.

 

[Exhaustgases]

I actually would have a use for those.

Something like the Tite Reach chain drives have female square at both ends with male to male adapters for sockets. I've never seen extensions, and mine is 3/8" drive, but I'm guessing these were part of a proprietary tool kit along those lines

Says Kobalt, I think that’s Lowe’s
Found two more pieces, it has no size it looks like a 5/16 or 8 mm
It’s all they say,they don’t put the size on it unless it’s made for something different

 

[goblin]

Those two are different. They are just extensions, have a female connection on one side.

One way or the other, all those knurls scream "manual driver". Possibly to gently drive nuts to hand tight for small nuts and bolts.

It’s a mystery. I don’t know what they are. It must be some kind of tool collaboration. It has no size so I got four pieces that I’ll never use in my shop.
