'locksmith's tool?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'post office produced' is the wordplay.
'post office' becomes 'po'.
'produced' becomes 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'produce').
'po'+'made'='POMADE'
