Beyond that I think there is a 28mm 26mm step there.

What is the "why" ofvghis proprietary tool. Can someone list a Suntour hub or headset showing where and how you use this.

Thanks!

That's a SunTour XC nountain bike/BMX hub tool, for removing the dustcaps that cover the bearing cartridges. The 17mm end sets the pre-load on the bearings:
