I just bought a '93 850 Sedan and found a 1/8" stamped metal tool in the glovebox with "Volvo" and "6817874" stamped on one side. It is T shaped,4 1/2" across the top and 2 1/4" high. The top middle of the T has a U shaped notch, one end of the T has a flat screwdriver and the other end has a very small torx type bit. Does anyone know this tool's specific use?
(I can email a pic of it, but couldn't figure out how to include it in this post)

Thanks,
John

 

Most likely just a spare tool.
Hit me up with a PM I will then give you my e-mail address and you can send me the pic and I will post it.

 

Tech, I moved this from New Members Area. Notified the original poster.

Here are the pics Im not sure what it is for never seen one before.

 

Wow, if Tech doesn't know....................???????

On a side note: Using search engines to find this tool, only lead you back to this thread, creating a dead end or a vicious circle.(depending onyour determination or stupidity)
Some mischievous Volvo engineermay betracking its internet trail with amusement.

 

It's the famous or infamous T shaped combination standard/torx screwdriver/minature pry bar/golf divot repair/T bone steak bone removal tool. I thought everyone had one of these.

 

Don't forget, that it also looks like heavy-duty underwear.........[8D].

If it has "Snap-on" engraved on the back of it, it is probably the tool I accidentally left in the car before you bought it.

I'm not going anywhere near that heavy duty underwear comment.

 

That big guy 'Jaws' from from James Bond could handle that underwear ! See the link below.

This is Tool A (6817874) that you use with tool B (8618276) to manually crank the convertible top open and close. I don't know if it is used for anything else.

This is from the manual of a 2001 Volvo C70 Covertible.
