Identify the tool

Post by jmvv »

This is a general question.

What is this tool and how is it used?


This is a copy of an original that came through my hands some time ago.

Its a harmonic harmonizer for the Anti-Matter Flux Conversion Coupler in the Mk 3 Warp Drive. Not to be confused with the lavatory reverse suction backwash tool which looks almost the same but doesn't have the hole in the hammer like head....

Hope that helps....

Its two materials, Aluminuim and a machined steel insert held with a grub screw. Looks like a tool for a very specific purpose thus limited numbers of this item.

The steel part fits into another component that locks it in, but it can still turn 360 degrees on the spindle.

I think its a........what the heck, I think Vader is correct. However the harmonic harmonizer for the Anti-Matter Flux Conversion Coupler in the Mk 3 Warp Drive is known to be made of Titanium and Driudium Alloy from Spretea14. This looks like a cheap copy. (I wont fit on a flux Conversion coupler in my neighbourhood)

Oh, I know what it is and how to use it.

And no Vader it is not an illuminating devise for dark and smelly crevices. No it is not made from depleted uranium

Yes it is a Volkswagen Beetle specific tool for a special and important task.

We have a responibility to pass knowledge and skills to the next generation......

I was lent the original by a guy that was trained in the factory in Wolfsburg in the days when mountains were small and rocks were still soft and I had a copy made.
