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.

How you use it is it's name. Just add what it is used on in front of it.

Add this to the list of clues.

LOL, yeah.....

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?

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.
