7/16" Wiley tool, or part?

Hey Folks,

I came aross this item, but I'm not sure what it is? It looks like a wheel wing nut, but has the external thread with taper at the end, so perhaps an extraction tool rather than a wing nut? It is embossed with "W", which I thought might be "Wiley" from England, but I'm stumped. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Being clearly marked 7/16", it is probably part of a set of graduated sizes. With the taper and the cut, it suggests a thread chaser. You could give it a try on an a damaged nut and see if it works.

Hello Rivnut, thanks for the idea. I'll see what more I can find and give it a try. ISP
