Next Mystery Tool. The picture is of the same tool. Both sides of the tool are displayed. Bump Dive shoehorn. |

Nope. Not a shoehorn. |

No. It has something to do with the suit. |

Well everyone is points to some sort of tool that helps get a deep dive suit on. But I cann't find a name for it. Add this to the list of clues. |

Perhaps they need a clue review. Earlier in this round, it was suggested that I might know what this tool does. I have not used or seen one before one. Initially, like Carlos and several others, I thought it was some sort of shoe horn. That answer being wrong, I have not been following this thread closely. It is now clear that this tool is used on deep-sea, hard-hat diving suits. As it happens, I know a couple of folks who used to wear those suits. They are pressurized, and seal to the wearer's body at certain points. Does that help? Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Yes it does help. Thank you. |

Ok so it breaks the seal on the glove or gauntlet. A dry suit glove puller? |

Not a dry suit. Used on a "Mark V Diving Dress" 1918-1984. It is used in the same neighborhood but does not exactly break a seal or pull off a glove. |

If no good or correct guesses arrive soon I will declare the panel stumped. So time is short. By Monday it will be over. Me hopes. |
