      Hopefully I'm not the only one that had to Google "dibber" to find out what it is

      Time for a clue, perhaps...

            That little V is there for a reason.

                  Removing hooks from the gob of the unfortunate fish maybe?

                  I also had to google 'dibber'.

                    And we have a winner
                    Andy, you're "it".

                    The tool is particularly useful when removing very small hooks from deep inside the mouth of the fish without causing much damage (both to fish and fly).
                    You slide the tool down the line until the crook of the hook is firmly lodged in the V, tension the line and pinch against the handle, locking the hook in place at the end of the tool.
                    You now have total control of the sharp end and barb to manoeuvre the hook out of the fish.

                        Can't believe I got a fishing one, the closest I've come to fishing was we used to go seining off the beaches in Georgia when I lived in the US many years ago. It's since been declared illegal in most countries.

                        Okay I've found a tool I made blind a couple of years ago, 'blind' = I didn't know what the official tool looked like so I doubt Google will help with this one. It's for a very specific purpose so I'll give you some clues. I made it in a blind panic when something very important in my house stopped working one weekend and needed fixing. I got part way through stripping it and needed a special tool to remove something so I could complete the job and this was what I made from bits I had laying around.

                            Is it perhaps a tool to remove a plumbing application ?

                              There is a similar tool for loosening the bush on an angle grinder but it normally only has two lugs so I would say this is to loosen a bush on a pulley on some appliance like a washing machine?

                                I think it is to rotate a part of the pump housing or filter hosing on a washing machine or dishwasher.
