Thanks. Going to be tough finding anything not Potato related.

Anybody say 'steel drums'?
I own this album, and saw them live back in the day.........wonderful shit.
Esso Trinidad Steel Drum Band.

If you like, and you have autoplay enabled on youtube, do not backclick just yet..........more to come from this wonderful group.
And if you toggle back and forth between this clip and the next, it changes up.
Hours of wonderful music.
This is the original Trinidad steel drum band...........playing on 55 gallon drums left behind afther their country was abandoned by the Esso oil group back in the 50s. They learned how to heat treat the heads of the barrels and then pound them into a musical tuning. Each has it's own tone.
And together, they are most wonderful.

Meow.

Huge apologies... not potato related.
That means it has nothing to do with tractors.
Nothing to do with playing the steel drums.
No air brakes were involved.

Gary, I'll say it again.

I'll just leave a clue that if you watch shows on PBS you might have seen something similar.
I'll let the group chew on the tool.

Oh I know what this tool is but will let others try their guess for a while.
My Grandpa used this tool in his shop when his most important tool needed a bit of adjusting / "tuning".

EDIT: How weird... Just changed TV channels and I Guess some of the guests on this evenings "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" could also use this tool.

The first one I saw was a bench-mounted contraption that looked nothing like this hand held item but probably had a wider range of usefullness.
