It's *OBVIOUSLY* the little bar that goes in the ROM port to align the slot on ROM cartridges.

Jammed expansion card extraction tool.
I need one to get my Gold Card out of my QL #2, it's that snug a fit I struggle to remove the Gold Card.

Also doubles as a bent pin straightener for J1. On the other side it says "sinclair multitool - no user servicable parts inside"

I thought it was the opposite - to help line up the expansion cards when slotting them into the QL - always a problem when trying to insert a Trump Card....

Trust me to have the opposite problem to most people...
My QL#2 has always been a bit awkward with exapnsion cards, whereas the other QL has always been straightforward.

Most people would want to get a Gold Card onto their QL. Only Dylwin would want to REMOVE one
Personally I think it's a tool to replace those dratted LED leads which never want to re-attach to the QL correctly.

Or it could be Marcell's new video adaptor (you look through the hole to look at the display)?
