I was going through some old tools and ran across this tap-die-ezout combo and was wondering what its use was. The only markings are in the die, 1/4-40. The tap looks to be the same size and thread. Any ideas?

Looks like someone must have done a lot of hand tapping in that size. They got tired of misplacing stuff and just hooked it all together.
 
If memory serves, that is the thread on the stems of inner tubes for vehicle tires.....I could be mistaken, tho.

A somewhat similar tool was made in 1/4"-32 and 1/8"-27NPT for servicing grease fittings and oil-cups.

cheers
