The spring end goes inside the cable clamps, the other end goes over the battery posts. Still use mine that is identical to this one, I think I bought it in the early 70s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows for certain what it is. Best guess so far is a sheet metal dimple/drill/tap tool. The way the square threaded section meets the knurling does not appear as professionally machined as the rest of the tool. Could it have been welded on? If so it appears to me to be a tap wrench with the clamp section added to make a "one off" tool for a specific application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 The tap-like chuck on other end suggests a tool for a two step function. Can't imagine the dimpling function was for sheetmetal work, but perhaps some sort of riveting or centering function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-mman Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Tie rod end adjuster clamps. Those pesky always tight, commonly rusted nuts and bolts that squeeze the split sleeve that allows for lengthening and shortening of the tie rod. Of course once the clamps are loose, then you need the hook tool to turn them because they are stuck also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't recognize that about the first picture, it could be a flywheel turner. I guess they are both generic tools not specific to a make of car.

I'm guessing that the weights allow you to spin the screw the way you do with a cross wrench on lug nuts. I'm guessing the yellow handle spins on the shaft so that you can hold the handle and let it spin to run a screw in or out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
