Tool in engine compartment from KTP

Found this tool hiding behind the washer fluid fill spout while filling the washer fluid today. Best part was I got my hand stuck trying to get it out and had to call my wife to come help me get my hand out.

Looks like a go-no-go gauge or some type of body tool. Interesting...

God that's a weird photo! Took me a minute to figure out what the hell I was looking at.

Strange that happened though, never heard nor seen that before.

And that's why it was still there.. someone wasn't about to get their hand stuck retrieving it...

Yes it is a horrible picture. Sat it on the hood of the truck thinking it would be good but bad angle and reflection. Does not represent what it looks like. As mentioned, it looks like one of the door panel tools.

Nothing to see here...delete this thread.

In the center of the pic is just an advertisement.

Story time...

Used to work on B-52's at Minot AFB, ND. Had an incident where two aircraft clipped wingtips during taxi. Inside the wingtip of one was a stray flashlight. All tools (when working on aircraft) are marked with a serial # of sorts. Traced the flashlight back to a depot level maintenance job that occurred 10 years prior. That flashlight had "flown" in the wingtip for over 10 years!
