stewsmith 14 Posted October 24, 2010 This was in the spare o ring and o ring grease bag that come with my new housing. Any idea what it is. I was thinking maybe it is for tightenijng and untightening the camera base plate? Stew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alexx 3 Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Right on. Maybe you can use it for removing your O-ring from housing. If I am right it has sharp end on the other side (side you are blocking with your fingers on the picture)! I have similar tool for that purpose!

Beach Bum 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Your guess is correct, it is for tightening the base to the camera. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Alex As Deep6 has cautioned, don't use this to remove O-rings. You should have an O-Ring remover in your package; a yellow piece of plastic. Otherwise, you can use your credit to remove O-rings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
