Was/is there a tool company called Nasa....

Yup, used for adjusting the high tension spring thingy on the booster brake on the Space Shuttle........but then I am sure everyone already knew that didn't they! :pimpflash

So the Shuttle has drum brakes eh?
:lol_hitti

[old salvage]

Seriously ?
Do I have to give it back? :)
It was in that top chest I posted about a few weeks ago. That box was definitely used by an auto mechanic at some point. Who knows how the bar got in there.

Only the early muscleshuttle era ones, the latter ones went on to disk technology then on to the more recently used version known as the Jethro Bodine double nought spy secret agent George Jetsen style commonly reffered to as the Bodine Jetsen system that uses air over passed gas! Clearly a system that will be very difficult to improve further upon in the coming years! :wtf:

[T56 Impala]

Well, I don't know if it is worth much, but that appears to be a real NASA tool. It would have likely been used on the crawler or some other large support unit. Not the shuttle or even the S5. Judging by the rust, I doubt it was part of any geological survey kit used for the lunar landings. Those I belive were titanium. Good conversation piece though!

[Elroy]

Elroy hates to bust your bubble but it is quite obvious this tool is for a "B-1" bomber. Says right there "B-1"

Actually, Elroy believe he saw some of these tools once at a NAPA.

[Junkman]

Does NAPA supply NASA?

[Uncle Buck]

Does NAPA supply NASA?

Of course, even Jethro Bodine and George Jetsen know that Junk! :lol_hitti

Who are Jethro Bodine and George Jetsen ?????:headscrat

[old salvage]

Thanks all..
I just had 2 queer looking blonde guys from pbs come and appraise it.
Apparently this was the butt scratcher issued to Buzz Aldrin (thats what the b-1 code is. N.Armstrongs was b-2). What looks like rust in the photos is actually residue from use. Interestingly some of the corrosion is heavy and the bar is bent. This is from diet problems probably from drinking too much 'Tang'.
After taking several deep sniffs for nostalgia sake I'll put it in an archival display case and hang it over my work bench .:)

Jethro from the 1960's sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies" (the young dumb guy) and George Jetsen (the dad) from the 1960's cartoon series of the era called " The Jetsens" sorry bout that Junk Man! (this was of course all tongue in cheek!) :beer:

There it is!!!! I was looking for that all over the place. I though it was next to the hyper drive capacitor.
Please return it or we will have to scrub the next launch.

Please quickly mail to:

[mulepackin]

I was afraid you were going to tell us it fell from the sky one day. Maybe it is a misstamped NAPA tool and now has great collector value due to that, like a double d penny.

[Thumper]

"Beam me up Scotty..........they've stolen our tools !! " :wtf:

Actually.....it looks like the hyperdrive link that Hans lost 14 parcets ago....

[Fedwrench]

Quick, list it on Ebay as a flux capacitor adjuster.

[BuickFarmer]

What good is a Space Shuttle brake adjuster if the brake lines themselves are loose and leaking.

[Major Ramifications]

You guys must have been drinking some spiked Tang or something.:spit:
This thread is spinning out of control.:)

Where in the hell did you get the picture of the drum brakes with the NASA sticker on the wheel cylinder?

[dxdexter]

Haha 1$ says its made in china :lol_hitti

I think I read somewhere that Proto supplies their tools. Can't remember where I saw that info.:headscrat:headscrat

When you're good at PhotoShop (or other such programs) any picture is possible.
It IS a very good pic though!

[Uncle Buck]

See! and you guys thought I was jerkin yer chain about the new fangled space age brake systems NASA has developed! Just wait till you see the image for that newest air over passed gas system that I referred to earlier in the thread! ooooh baby, it's a duesy! :lol_hitti

[Junkman]

Indeed it did.

That is only for the front wheel, I want to see the picture of the rear wheel with the emergency landing brake assembly.:thumbup:

Yup... heard that too.

[stuckinohio]

I was putting away some of my tools yesterday and while going through some of my dads old tools I found these.

Perhaps they meant to say ASIAN but Spelled it backwards and forgot the "I" :bounce:

Well lookie what Elroy found:

Elroy's addiction to tools prevented him from recalling he actually had these "in stock". They have been in the "collection" for at least 10 years.

[old salvage]

Awsome.!:thumbup:
What is it ?
I guess there was a nasa tool co after all.

[Elroy]

What is it ?

Elroy always used it for pulling door panel clips

[old salvage]

Ah ha.
Nice to have I would think.
Gouging everything up gets old quick.

Looks like it would be good to hold a hotdog over a fire...:bounce:

[jimvannoy]

Here are a few NASA tools of a different type that I have. They actually came from NASA. They all still have old NASA ID tags on them.

[v8garage]

It must be great to be young enough to not know them!:lol_hitti

Jimvannoy.
Awsome to think what those could have been used for.

I use to have a garage full of NASA surplus stuff. I had 1 equipment rack that was full of chart recorders, wind speed and direction meters, and a transmitter/receiver. I was told it was used for the Mercury program. A museum in NY bought it. I got it all from a guy that use to go to NASA surplus auctions back in the 70's.
