Tool ID help please,
Hello Friends,
This tool came to me as part of a lot of tools, and I have no idea what it is for. It is marked Acier Forge, VAR, Made in France.
Anyone?
Thanks[

Looks like an old VAR lockring tool that would be used on cup and cone style bottom bracket lockrings and old headsets that have notched adjustable cups instead of wrench flats.

Take care when using this tool. While it is the best lock ring tool i have used (Excepting the size specific campy and Shimano types that encircle the ring) the replaceable hooks/dogs can scratch the BB shell. They have a cut away to help reduce this possibility but careful positioning is still needed. Andy.
