Last seen in a tin box 30 years ago and recently resurfaced. Any offers of what its used for?

A small tool resurrected from the past!
It’s a tyre valve tool, removes valve core and cleans up internal and external threads.Mark P.
I keep one in all my vehicles. Here in Canada valve stems have a tendency to slightly loosen after alternating extreme cold and mild temperatures over the winter. Another piece of good advice form my late Dad ( ex army mechanic).
Cheers

They're still available for less than a couple of quid.
Usually referred to as a Schrader valve tool

I've got one as well.

Just to join the club so have I. Never needed it though! Got mine when I worked as a car mechanic.
I've got several, used to carry one in my pocket. Used a lot at one time but now can't think why.
Valve changing?
