[QUOTE=Werner;2224849]Mike,

thank you for your hint.
I don't think this is a workshop tool. It's built too fragile for that and doesn't have a good grip. The top cap is detachable.

Werner, Can you show how it looks inside the cap and where it fits in your part? In the bottom it looks like four collet fingers or grippers, are there supposed to be two more sections that might have broken off. Do the grippers have concentric groves or are they like a thread? Does the cap operate the grippers or do you turn the knurled section? Any markings other than Push/ pull?
