Watzits, Truth, Plumb & other

[Kirbot]

These came in an auction lot about a month or more ago.
I've been meaning to ask about them for a while but I'm just now getting around to it.

One of them is marked "TRUTH", another "Plumb" the other two are only marked with the size.
I've got quite a few more, but I think I showed one of each.

The way one of them is mushroomed on the end makes me think it's got something to do with a rotary hammer or something along those lines.

Any ideas?

Kirbot,
You done got yerself a gaggle O' Wheel Knockers!
Bingo Caps I say!
They seem in fine shape. Just use 'em next time you need to do rear brakes.

I have a feelin' theres a bunch of folks just champin' at the bit to tell you what they do,..........so I won't. right now.

 

[Kirbot]

Hmm...
Wheel knockers, rear breaks....

I'm still scratching my head?

 

[wrenchr]

Reel knockers?????????????????????????? lol

 

[airbuff101]

alwright! gol dang it!

These were very common for removing rear hub/brake drums from tapered axles of 'teens, 20's, 30's automobiles. Essentially used in place of a hub puller in many cases.
Remove the cotter pin, remove the castle nut. Raise the opposite wheel. Screw the appropriate knocker on your axle stub.
Whack the *******!....go ahead, whack it again!...............and again.
OK just a couple more times now.........swing real good
POP!
Wheels off.

I'm all tuckered out now. (It was only that easy in the instructions..........)

Somebody asked to see a picture of the Truth stuff.
So here they are.




And one more whatzit...
Branded "Kent-Moore"

 

[snapmom]

Any makers mark on the wingnut socket?

 

[Kirbot]

MTF



Never heard of it before.

 

[old salvage]

MTF=
Milwaukee Tool & Forge. They made sockets for Snap on way back (20's maybe early 30's.? )

 

[snapmom]

Or, did snap on make sockets for MTF?. The only fact we know, is that MTF made chisels and punches for SO.

 

[spongerich]

Ok, cool. Thank!
Now I've got to figure out what I'm going to do with them all!

How big are they? If a couple would fit in a small flat rate box, I'd be interested in the Plomb ones if you're willing to get them go for a pittance.

I think Bull collects Truth, among others..... Cool stuff thanks for showing us K
