I found a Stanley tool someone had given me. It is about three inches
long, and 3/4" in diameter, with a round knurled surface. On one end,
there is a 1/8" or so rod projecting. On the other, there is a round
hole. When you press the 1/8" rod on one end, a 3/32 to 1/16" rod comes
out the other end the length of the opposite end. It looks like a
ballpoint pen but without the writing end sticking out. The rod is
solid through the body. It looks like if you were to put it over a
finishing nail, you would hit the top end, and it would countersink the
other end, and insure that one could not miss. Is that what it is?

Blunt or sharp?

If it is a blunt end, it is for setting nails. If it is a pointed end, it
is for making a self centered starting hole for hinge screws.
I forgot about the one for hinge screws, I also FOUND mine.

Finding tools is exciting like getting a Christmas present. Oh, WOW, I
forgot I had this, or Oh that's where I put it.

LOL. Yes, finding tools is like Christmas, but I mean finding tools
that others had lost. Most of my found tools where laying on the road
and I stopped to pick them up. If a tool is accidentally left by
someone I can call, I always call them to let them know. I know how
much it sucks to loose a tool. I've found tools I lost for over ten
years in equipment that I serviced again. Funny how many of us can look
at two identical but worn tools and know which one is ours.

It's true when they say "A man can never have too many tools".
