Another whatsit - this one is inside a hex bit set

[Snattlerake]

Daheck is dis ting? I was at my neighbor's house a few days ago and he had a new HEX bit set. I saw this and asked what it was. He didn't know either. The open end of the Y is hex shaped as if to hold more bits but they are too big and won't fit inside. It looks like an allen wrench will fit but only one size.

The Y shaped tool.

Round shaped wing nut type fastener?

Looks like a key for turning maybe a thumbscrew or something...I'd probably use it for a beer can tab though.

Wing nuts.

Wing nuts.

Makes sense, for when you need to crank them down with the strength of Zeus.

I'll maintain my original premise that it's for beercan tabs

According to iFixIt, it's a "hook drive," which, I guess, means it's for screwing in (or out) screw-in hooks. It's in the 1/4" drive bits section of their Manta Driver Kit.

One day, I will assist you with testing this theory. Maybe with a pizza on the side.

This. Or cup hooks as I learned to call them around 50 years ago, and in another place.
