I should know what this does, but I can remember nor can I find the part number on google.

It looks like some sort of extension spring stretcher, possibly for fitting/removing springs to brakes?

Something to do with taking apart a GM starter??
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I would have to go with Batz, A spring stretcher/placer sounds good to me.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

It looks quite handy too, the screwdriver handle indicates to me it gets close to the work, like brakes, otherwise it would be a T handle.

Who has not replaced brake springs on 4x4s or trucks and used a screwdriver to lever it on?..............twang!.......now where the hell did that go?

I haven't.  I use pliers or Vise Grips.  The "twang" and the "now where the hell..." are the same, though.

I concur that it's most likely an automotive tool of some kind, though I can't explain why; just feels right.

It's 2022. KD makes specialty tools for the auto repair trade, so I agree it's a car tool.

I like the brake idea, tho maybe more like keeping shoes apart while you do something else .

it's odd that the number doesn't come up on searches.
