Hi, Does anyone recognize this tool ? I bought it long ago at a supply house back when replacing faucet washers was a thing. It's obviously a washer removal pick tool but I can't find them online (same exact one, has to be the same, not the handle type, must have the ring/loop end). Closest thing I've found are spring installation tools. I love this little tool and use it for so many things it's become indispensable. The spring steel (?) is incredibly strong and I can put tremendous force on tool without deforming.
I'm looking for the brand name even if they are no longer made.

I use the orange handle pics, found at Harbor Freight, for $1.99. What is the significance of the ring/loop end?
 
Pulling, hard. Got tons of every kind of pick. This particular one in photos just works better for so many other circumstances, I haven't found better. Something about the strength of the steel. Might have to look on Euro /German sites. Used to get them at either Ferguson or Hirsh so thinking maybe an old Pasco item, don't know but I'm down to one as I lose / misplace them. Besides pulling the ring end provides a lot of twist torsion / side leverage too. Handy for opening latches on locked facility doors.
 
Twowaxhack - for the win! Thank you for finding that, I really appreciate it.
I'm tricking out some different tool bags & a couple of pouches with redundant items (all set up to grab for different tasks) and just couldn't find these.

edit: Using your Ace Hardware link I was able to find oem - DANCO (thanks again)
