Stooge Tool ID Contest

Hey all you brothers. Below is a tool fabricated from discarded items made by own own FBB in his garage amid the stacked wheels, various and sundry tools and appliances, and a few cars, some of which are actually not up on blocks - cinder of course.

So what is this and what's it for? The first should be less difficult, but the second is tricky. I have heard tell that Plugzit actually has one of these, so he's disqualified. HINT - it is not a marital aid item.

Successful ID will insure your induction in the Stooge Hall of Shame.

Heh, heh. Actually it was FBB's attempt to remove a separated bearing race on a BMW 3 series rear axle hub. We discovered TIG welding an old 3-arm bearing puller doesn't work very well. Something about cheap Chinese pot metal welding to carbon steel. I ended up using a Dremell to cut a clean line in the race, then whacked it with a cold chisel to crack it open. Easy peesy, but FBB and I had fun playing with the big boy tools. Seems these beraring races are really solid pieces until you damage their structural integrity; then they crack like cheap crystal.

Another shot of it. At the 6 o'clock point you can see the crack in the race.
