Guess The Tool

[AndyD]

None of the above but some are along the right lines.

It's for dismantling a kitchen appliance, my favourite appliance in fact. I treated myself to this appliance when I gave up drinking alcohol many years ago. If this particular appliance doesn't work then I'd have withdrawal symptoms after a few hours and life wouldn't be worth living.

A soda stream linked to a gas bottle ?

Coffee machine do dab

[AndyD]

Not a soda stream I'm afraid.

Coffee machine do dab

That's close enough I think, it's a bit of a tall order to expect anyone to be more accurate.

I can tell you it is for something on a commercial coffee (espresso) machine.


It's a tool I made for dismantling the head where the water comes out when the coffee is made. I was unfortunate one day and mine blocked up solid. There's a brass water divider disc inside the delivery head that screws in place and it's a bugger to remove so I made what is essentially a slogging (or flogging) spanner to fit it.


The brass divider disk has three holes in it and no other way to engage it to remove it so I made the spanner with three corresponding pins to fit it and 30 seconds and a couple of whacks from a hammer and it was out. It's a tool I spent 3 or 4 hours making, 30 seconds using it and it's been sitting collecting dust and rust ever since.

Okay Marq, you're up!!

dibber google is my friend

[Marq]

Thats right Ian - I thought I would show those who have have not heard of a dibber what one could look like.

[AndyD]

I used to like this thread so thought it might be worth a bump.

Wire cutter?

[AndyD]

A valliant attempt Mike but it's not robust enough to cut wire. It was however made to cut something very specific so you're along the right track.

Where you listening to Chris de Burgh when you pasted this?
A wire stripper

cut something very specific

What about cutting drinking straws?
