Name that tool

[Jim Ratto]

is it for door hinge pins Phil? Or somethign to do with torsion leaves in beam? I'm stumped.

[Tony M]

Is it for compressing valve springs to remove the keepers ?

Dannys tools - English wheel, punch press, the other one is for hammering metal ? PS nice work shop.

Since none of the young guys have identified this tool, its time for a seasoned citizen to nail it. So have at it.

Ok, so I guess I get the gold star today.
Rather than use a big pair of Channelock pliers, this tool compresses the clamps that secure the front sway bar to the lower trailing arms. Once
in place you have two hands to install the retaining clip, did I use it very often?, looks tell everything.

Good guess's guys, now it's your turn to show us that weird old VW tool that showed up missing at the VW dealer,
and you bought at the swap meet. wink wink nod nod

Just as impressive as the tools, is the thought of having the skills to put them to use!  Much respect and envy to you guys.

This one should be a little easier.

Looks like the wrench that holds the top engine mounting bolt on the early models (before the half moon type bolt) if it is, I think they used to have a magnet inside so you the bolt was held in place while you started the nut in the engine compartment.

You nailed it! This is an early product from Paul "Schley Products", the chain is there to "hang down" and remind me not to leave it on the car. Paul has been a
longtime and generous friend, which reminds me I should touch bases with him next time I'm in OC.

Great idea with the chain! I remember on more than one occasion leaving the wrench (on the bolt) or a small vise grip (on the clutch cable) and having to remember to retrieve them from the car on the next service.
