Title: JO-LINE TOOLS INC
Post by: lptools on March 09, 2015, 06:29:33 PM

Hello, again. Thanks for all of the previous help. Another tool followed me home from the Sunday Flea. 2  identical tools, both stamped JO-LINE TOOLS INC. SOUTH GATE, CALIF. J00X-8. I believe the company made torque wrenches. Tool at top is shown in what I am guessing is the stored, or, locked  position.The one at bottom looks like this is where you would start its use. Thanks, Lou

I think that is the name of a country western song. OO

Dolly Parton made the song Joline famous.  No relation to the tool company, though. Found a J00x8 for sale at an Army Property website, but no info on the use or description of said tool.

Hello, I read the answer, and am still baffled. I have never heard of any other tool being used for inserting a cord into a microphone. Must be very specialized, that is why I am pursuing the Military Tool possibility, only the U S Government would request or purchase such a tool!!!!!!!!! Does anyone have an old catalog from the Jo-Line company? Thanks, Lou

Not for inserting a cord into a microphone, but more for inserting a microphone cord into an oxygen mask.
Like shown in the link:

Interesting - the three prong pliers in the link from Rhoderman is more usually sold in the UK as a tool used by farmers for placing rubber castration rings on your male piglets - many different uses for one tool...

JO-LINE TOOLS INC. SOUTH GATE, CALIF. J00X-8. I believe the company made torque wrenches.

They did; I have one.

It's certainly an odd combination of products!
