Yep, after posting I've recognized it's Baba O'Riley from The Who, nonetheless a good song.

No one an idea? It's a helpful tool...

I'm guessing it's an opener/remover of sorts.

Maybe a bottle opener

You're right, it's a remover.

It's to remove a mmcx plug from your IEM with ease.


cheers

Word of week = Teen => When You Were Sweet Sixteen - Fureys 1981 HQ



and last weeks WoW = Card => Bagatelle - Trump Card (also from 1981)

Final Audio, who would have thought?

Only the Japanese can come up with contraptions like these.

I'm using it for my T2 with tripowin balanced cable, the mmcx fits really tight. No chance to remove the plug by hand, but with this tool it's no problem and you can't damage the cable.

Is it for removing MMCX cables from Iem's?

Looks a bit delicate, how longs that going to last? Also some makes are harder to remove than others.

Personally I prefer the old fashioned method, perfected over many years by generations of Head Fi-ers

It is true that the Ocean divides us but so does language. Here is a question to which I personally would have replied that there is quite a difference in the meaning of "fanny."

What is a British idiom that simply can't be used in America?
Many years ago I dated a young English girl. I was visiting her family at the hotel where they had come to visit her in Kentucky. When I noticed that her father was missing, I asked her, “Where’s your dad?”
”He’s probably out fagging,” she responded.
“What??” I replied, incredulously.
“He’s out having a fag.” she said.
“Is your mom okay with this?”
“Well, not really. She wishes he would quit, but he keeps smoking anyway.”
I’d say you can’t tell people in America that you’re out having a fag. It has a completely different meaning over here.
Edit: To all of you who noted that “No one would ever say, ‘out fagging’ “, I get it. That’s not commonly used in the UK. But you’re wrong. She actually used those words. Those are the words that got my attention. My memory is not bad. The only possible explanation I can offer is this: she was a bit of a strange girl and she definitely marched to her own drum beat. Maybe she was more likely to say something a bit off than all of you more proper English folk.

My First job out of college I worked with a guy from England and I had the same reaction when he stated he was going out for a “fag”. I was like alrighty then, a guy who knows what he wants and not afraid to state it. Then he explained to me what the term meant and we both had a good laugh.
