What is it? (pic)

[sodakfisherman]

I brought my new trailer home last week. In a cabinet along with the manuals, remotes, LP quick-connect hoses, and other things, was this small metal tool pictured below. On the long end is a hex head that is about 9/64". Any ideas?

He's right. Delta Single armed faucet tool.

The tool is for adjusting the thermotrockle on the teranodyne next to that other part.

I know exactly what that is... Trying to think of the brand but it's a tool for working on the kitchen faucet. The Hex key is used to remove the handle and the spanner (yes that's what the other end is called) to adjust the nylon pressure ring on the single handle kitchen (or bathroom) faucet. The bent "legs" fit in slots in the nylon ring. It came in the box with one of the faucets by the way, if you go to the hardware store they often include the same wrench with the rebuild kits as well.

DELTA.. that's the make I'm trying to think of DELTA though there are other makes that might use the same tool.

You obviously don't bother to read any of the other replies to the OP's query. 🙂 The question was answered in about the third reply.

See that`s why I didn`t know what it was! Forest River uses cheap squeaky faucets. LOL. this spring I`m thinking about upgrading to better faucets though.

It's a lasar reflector. It is used to accurtely measure the distance from the earth to the moon.
EDIT. Sorry, I didn't realize that there were replies on the second page.

back to the OP's question, it is a tool for a Delta single handle faucet to repair the faucet. The allen wrench fits the set screw to remove the handle and the other end is a spanner to tighten or loosen the packing nut that adjusts the tension on the "Ball" to obtain a proper pressure on the O rings below the ball to prevent leaking. When you buy a repair kit for a Delta facet the same wrench is usally included in the kit.

Sylvan Lake it is.

We are heading to the Black Hills during that sweet spot in July, after the July 4 rush but before the Sturgis rally traffic picks up later in the month. I have not been to Sylvan Lake in 15 years. I can't wait!

I actually know this from a documentary that I saw about claims that the Apollo moon landings were a hoax.

It is some sort of reflector that allows NASA to laser "ping" the moon to determine Earth-moon distance. Its presence on the moon and the ability of NASA to do so is one argument used to debunk said conspiracy theorists.

Give that man a cigar!

It is a one meter square LASER reflector on the Sea of Tranquility.

Its original use was to accurately measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon.

In early '70s a few of us used it for communications using 200 Watt CO2 LASERS and 8 inch reflector telescopes equipped with IR photo-diodes.

Aiming can be compared to hitting a running rabbit in the back of the head with a .22 rifle.
