How about a removable handle for a valve that does not have room to move? Or the valve handle for the head discharge to keep the coast guard happy?
Mine are in Volvo green and cost 4x as much
If you can open all your fills and close all your valves - Toss them.
I say that having about 80 feet of various size hoses with some of the weirdest fittings on them stacked behind the generator that I have no idea what they were used for!!
OK, I will go on board tomorrow and take a video of the handles with the deck caps. My suspicion is that they are way too thick to do that job, but we will see.
...The installer popped his head out and said he was installing the strainer in the storage beneath the port lazarette floorboard, what did I want to do with all the hoses in there...
Is there a video, or did the handles not fit the slot?

Handles cut off of two way ball valves. It made the ball valves useless and the handles are now useless.
As far as the ball valves, they could have been used ones that were pulled out of service.
Regarding the other cap tool, that could have been acquired later or by a different owner.
Not sure you need to keep them, but I would say there's a good chance the mystery is solved. Now about my prize.......

Sorry, not convinced.
There are just too many tools already available to remove deck fills. Why either pay, or go through the project, to adapt a valve handle?
Just doesn't make sense.
In Argentina we use a set of such levers to prevent green leather desk carpets from flying awayTook these off the boat a few years ago when clearing out the drawers etc.
Now cleaning out the spaces in the house and came across them again.
They are like valve on/off levers but clearly not since they are angled and no holes for the stem and bolts that go with fuel or other valves.
I have never needed them in the last four seasons but don't want to toss them - just in case.
Any ideas?
