Default What's this tool for???

Being a XF newbie, I found some type of wrench or tool in the storage pouch behind the seats and have no idea what it is used for. Help appreciated! (more dumb questions to follow...)

It is probably the tool used to remove the front lower grills.
see info in the link discussion below.

It has several uses. The Wrench end is used to help manually raise the top on a Roadster. The pointed end is used for removing the front grills to access the front tow hooks. That end is also used to disengage the transmission from park for towing with the rear wheels down... It's in the owner's manual.

Yeah, that works too. However I prefer the Jack Handle for that kind of job. The butt of my .45 works well too, generally don't get any lip when that makes an appearance...

I've been out there a couple of times, but not recently. I'm closer to the Marksman in Newport News, so I joined up there. It has its advantages, it's open fairly late and you can still use it in foul weather.

I had no idea that my promoting pummeling someone with a tool would turn this thread into a gun forum!

Century International Arms WASR-10 & DPMS Panther AR-15. (I like rifles better... )

aww man ... all i have is a stun gun, the non shooting type, and that's illegal too in NJ ! hahaha ... when i move into my new place i plan on a 12 gauge with rubber bullets (non lethal forms of home defense are not as harshly judged in NJ ... you can go to jail for defending your home here) ...

but yea... i guess that tool IS for beating people down with or removing the front grill ...

I'll put my two cents in. Glock 22 .40 Cal, Glock 27 .40 Cal, Remington 870 Police Tactical Shotgun, Bushmaster FTC M4 Carbine with thousands worth of goodies, H&K MP5, Taser X26, and a .22 rifle to top it off.
