Dandy Dave Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I see no one has even guessed what this could be. Still not positive but I think it is for under cutting commutator segments in starters and generators. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsmoke Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) It will be interesting to hear what this very nice looking tool is, appears to be some form of descaling (or grooving) tool for pipe/rods, perhaps tie rod bars? The 3 T shaped adaptors tell me something. So many turn screws? Edited July 20, 2023 by Gunsmoke (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stude17 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 15 hours ago, halifaxhops said: Think crank old school, babbit OK. Looks like a hand operated tool to reclaim/true up crankshaft journals. The Three "T" shaped pieces are the cutters for different width journals. You can just see these cutters have small radiuses on the ends so that they leave a suitable radius for the journal. These cutters are held in place by the two small set screws between the small guide ears. To operate I would suggest the tool is opened up and placed over the journal and tightened into place by the larger of the knurled knobs and then rotated. The cutter is then adjusted by the smaller knurled knob. Looks like there is already a cutter in place. The knurled knob opposite the cutter is probably for more adjustment of the tool on the crank journal. Can't find anything similar on the internet. When completed the babbit bearing can be "fitted" by scraping or removig shims. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NailheadBob Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 GM steering wheel/column locking plate depressor tool to aid in removing C clip from groove in steering shaft Bob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 That one looks like it's been around since 1969! Bound to think it was clumsy to use with only a wingnut to depress the lock plate. Doesn't give much leverage and sometimes lock plate springs on those columns could be tight. 35+ years ago I bought a set of these off some forgotten traveling tool sale; Homier or something like that. My lock plate tool has a hex nut to depress the yoke and these little cheap reversing ratchet wrenches were the ideal thing to keep with the lock plate tool. Then it took GearWrench another few years to come up with their more "refined" version, but even then they weren't reversible. That came waaaaay later. Yup. Sometimes there's something to be said for cheap tools!😏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 That's a screen grab off Harbor Freight website. HF does a lot of color-coding on tools, and that and BIG size markings do make it easier for old eyes to pick up the right tool the first time! Mine are actually all bright metal finish. Not sure I remember Craftsman having them back then but that doesn't mean they didn't!☺️ These ratcheting box wrenches have their place and use. The heads on them are too big to get into tight places but they come in handy. I recently cleaned and lubed my set. Brake cleaner gets rid of the grunge and old hard grease and a drop of light oil or SuperLube synthetic grease keeps the ratchet working smoothly. I have come to like this stuff a lot. Y'all have heard me say before that any tool that makes a job easier is worth what it cost, even if you use it only once! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
