Frank Wilkie Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I found this tool laying under the seat in my 1929 Diamond T truck. Would this tool be automotive related. ? Has embossed on one side ( APARKER-KALON CORP. N.Y. USA ) other side has (Dropforged Steel No. O.X.Metal Punch Patd. Jan.21.19.) Of course it's a punch but what would it be used for if related automotive ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Unlikely automotive, probably a leathersmith someone who did riveting, like aeronautics etc. Have never seen one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Looks similar to a Whitney punch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not particularly automotive related, though people use them to punch holes in patch panels where they want to rosette weld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have come in a kit with several different size dies for punching holes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Some guy somewhere is wondering where or which rig he left that in. As he has the kit. I had a pretty good test tach that I used pretty much every day. I am positive that I left it in a boat, but don't know which one. It just went missing once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget where I heard about it though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
