The tool in question is the double curved item on the roll around cart. It should be pretty easy. No further info will be given. Winner will get a Kinja/GIS cookie party

Either suspension work or for the belts on their transverse straight 6s.

Belt/hose routing tool?

Yanking away the tech by the neck after a bad joke?

That was my first thought.

That’s the shrimpy krimpy

It’s used to lock the lid on the pots so the pupcurn shrimpies can’t escape

Yeah, I'm thinking a belt guide tool of some kind.

I know that feel. I have a longitudinal 90-degree V6 with double firewalls and a metric ass-tonne of plastic cladding (which I removed the first time I opened the hood to do work). I’ve lost 3-4 sockets down in there somewhere.

nope :] It’s a tool to pull a technician away from a hybrid power unit if he/she is getting electrocuted. Made of Rubber

I think my dad has talked about that kind of thing with the Toyota Hybrid systems.

For Lexus, we had little cones and thick rubber gloves and all that. I worked on Tommy Lee Jones (actor) LS600hL baxk in those days. I replaced the inverter assembly on it

The B5-platform Audi A4 and VW Passat, 1996-2005 or so. They are notorious for shoe-horning large engines into small spaces.

The B5s are a little weird. My friend has an S4 wagon.

That doesn’t seem like a very effective tool for pulling a full grown dude from an electrified car. I big ass hook (almost like a pool cleaning tool, minus the net) would seem a better tool.

It’s too bad I never got to see VW’s version since the Touareg hybrid was new, and the Jetta was just released. I'm sure it was very German, or totally normal.
