It's an air cleaner wingnut retrieval tool. Ford part number C7de-9025-B. It's application is to carefully remove the wingnut when it falls down into the intake manifold. The tool is paired with a pocket guide to shouted sailor curses and sold at participating dealerships and parts depots.

The pictures are a little blurry so it's hard to say for sure, but my guess might be something like these...

Indeed. You can always count on Tom for a plausible story. I'm guessing he moonlights for The Onion or Babylon Bee.

That's a good one Wayne. Tom sure can spin a yarn or two. And for those that know about those two publications, they are satirical, and very funny.
