It's how they get rid of the scrap. One piece at a time.

quite probable. though that train of thought would require a college educated bean counter! LOLLizardracing wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 11:56 pm It's how they get rid of the scrap. One piece at a time.

Just think if you were on the assy. line, with one job to do.. like check a dimension or chamfer an oil hole...and had to do a hundred or more units every day.
bet it is used in the lightening hole in the rod throw as a lifting fixture.. poor guy shipped his, and now has a sore back..

I’ve mail ordered a few cranks before but never had a handle come taped to the bag...
Hmmmm, WTF is this???

It's the billet they use to forge their light weight cranks...

Looks like a crank blank before it gets expanded by the popcorn machine. You got the before
and after crank deal.
It reminds me of those dipstick hole plugs Ford used to put in C6s at the trans factory. When a
guy came walking in the shop with a scared look on his face, a C6 pan with a half quart of stinky
brown type F and one of those rolling around in it you always new it was Saturday.

Makes sense, seeing as some people are determined to use Eagle rods as weapons of mass destruction.
Have you asked Eagle what it is? Maybe you'll get a reward for its return.

I think you nailed it.. it is the handle that came off the gage drawer in the QC Department!

Re: What is this that came with my new crank?
So has anyone contacted Eagle to ask them what it is?
