Always get one of these. Never figured out what it is. First time I got one, I got rid of it thinking is was old tubing.

Stick it over the end of a spanner etc to give more leverage.

Probably fits the C spanner.

Thumbs Up

For OP

An erm I've got a kind of tool like that just a longer one normally use it on spanners for the extra leverage.

Pic works if you click directly : https://imageshack.us/a/img641/449/pict1908.jpg

It resembles a box spanner to me, except there should be holes for a handle and I can't see any in the pic. Question

Edit; beaten

I always think it looks like a lorry or something ran it over.

They usually come with safety glasses for when the spanner breaks Wink

Always assumed it went over the spanner end to improve leverage. Could be wrong though...

Its for extra leverage on your Babyliss hair clippers so you can reach around for a full back, sack and crack.

For extra leverage exactly. Pretty much guaranteed to get one in the toolbag that comes with the bike.

Tool kits usually have a ring spanner for the rear wheel nut and a C spanner to adjust the rear suspension - that, is the handle for both of those spanners.
