Is there a tool for monitoring synchronization objects (mutexes, events, semaphores) in Windows?

Question

Does Windows have a tool for monitoring the status of process synchronization objects? i.e.

• event / mutex: signaled or not signaled
• semaphore: score

Even better is to log what thread was doing what, for example. "thread # 5421 Signal Event - testevt"
