At one of my first jobs my boss had a mechanical tachometer. It had a clock spring, and you turned it letting more of the spring stick out of the tach. I had never seen anything like it before then. I picked up a stihl branded digital tack that you hold near a plug wire or it has a wire with a alligator clip that you can clip on the plug wire for remote use. The spring tach and the digital were pretty close. I am going to try and win the proto stud socket and if I don't win it I am going to see if I can buy one. It's much more compact than some of the others I have and it's so simple. I think it's worth having in my tool arsenal. Can't wait to see what the new tool is used for. I think I've seen them before but I can't place where or what it's used for.
Some clever minds back in the day making some clever little gadgets like that vibration tach. If they could accomplish the Manhattan Project back then we should all have our flying cars by now.........Only thing I came up with on the mystery tool is one place calling them "Automotive Spring Expanding Pliers".
Could that be a pliers to open up links of decorative lighting chain? I've seen a few that look very similar to them.
