Fact Manufacturing Milwaukee-S Cam Tool Kit A18-CM-1004

This item is a specialized tool or fixture, likely for a specific industrial or automotive application. It consists of a rectangular, flat base plate, appearing to be made of a dark-colored metal, possibly steel, due to its apparent rigidity and dark finish. The plate has several circular holes and a larger, elongated cutout, suggesting it's designed to interface with other components or act as a mounting platform. Attached to and resting on this plate are several dark-colored metal components. There's a prominent, long threaded shaft with a textured or ribbed surface, indicative of a gripping or adjusting mechanism. One end of this shaft terminates in a T-handle, suggesting manual rotation for tightening or loosening. Another component is a cylindrical piece with a tapered end, possibly a collet or a male coupling element, which appears to connect to the threaded shaft. There are also smaller, flat-topped knurled screws or pins, which seem to be designed for securing components or adjusting positions on the base plate. The overall construction appears robust and precise, indicating a professional-grade tool. The visible labeling on the cardboard box reads "Fact Mfg Milwaukee-S Cam Tool Kit A18-CM-1004," explicitly identifying it as a "Cam Tool Kit" from "Fact Mfg" for "Milwaukee-S" applications, with a model number or part number "A18-CM-1004." The condition appears to be excellent, with no visible signs of significant wear, rust, or damage, suggesting it is either new, lightly used, or very well-maintained. The dark finish on all metal components is consistent and even, implying original factory coating. Given the text on the box, it is a relatively modern tool, likely manufactured in the last few decades.
