Put a knot on the end. (buckle for the cable.) Pass the cable through the slot with the knot in the 'center' section - tight up the slotted straight. Then using the arm as a crank and holding the other straight - rotate as a brace with a bit in it. ? That is what popped into my mind. Likely something like that - or maybe it is a sprinkler key - slide the slot over a handle (single sided) and the center of the pipe over the shaft. Rotate as a brace - turn on or off the 'water'.....

The subject line is always "What Is It roman numeral" Somebody, somewhere on the planet, might know what it is! Good Luck! Rich |
