Tool

Here is an interesting tool. Do you know what it is? First picture shows the "top" side, and the second, the underside. The third picture is with a dollar bill and a nickel, to give you a size reference. I covered the manufacturers name, so you can't Google it...

Thread chaser /restorer?

The one with the red handle is used when doing brake work ,the other can be used on carburetors , electronics and a few other things.

Ok you got me scratching my head. the air tool is a spreader if I'm guessing. but how that red handled works in a brake i don't know unless it's to turn the pin on the springs that keep the shoes on the backing pad

Close enough on the red handle tool ,it is for some Mopars that had kind of a backward hold down spring. The round head part of the spring held the shoe down and the tool pushes the spring down from the inside to hook with retainer tab. The other one is a choke tester air come in and you have hot at one end and cold at the other at the same time. Great for doing a hot /cold cycle on a part.

both were I live. at the money these 8 inch disks cost you want to use them all up. i have this one set up for the fluted edge as it works better to get in the rough spots. here is a action shot and the finished product. you just keep cutting it down till you use it all up

That tool was used to help grease the shackles on a leafen spring. You could slip the fort over the leave and twist it to free up the opening for the grease to flow in. The other end sliped threw the shackles to take the load off and free it up that way. By 1960 they had stopped putting zerks on the pivot points on springs.

Both tools do the same thing, just a little different design.
