you dont use it professionally then ,very few heel bars have a small enough profile and sharp edge for removing the likes of blind hole fitted bearing races etc
Any idea what this is?

I have a 17mm Snap on spanner. It is a thing of beauty. Didn't buy it though. A different garage had left it in my wife's car twenty years ago.

heavy
When I served my time I remember them being used to move stuff slightly, eg if the gantry crane hadn't put stuff down in exactly the right spot. Or, if heavy parts were being lined up. It was very heavy engineering stuff though, so they may be more commonly used for lining holes up.
I still can't picture where it was.
I don't have a winch. Was it hidden by the winch?

When the front grill was off I looked down and I noticed it wedged between the bumper and the body. It might have been somewhere else before as a couple of days ago I had been there removing this front towball bracket. It could have been worse if it had fallen out at speed with a car following.

I have never regretted buying high quality things but have often cursed buying cheap stuff. Snap on are out of my price range though.
