Hi, Gang--I bought a bunch of precision tools from an estate, and this item came in. It's a Slocomb, patented in 1909, there is a rounded end on each of the things with the handles, but I have no idea what they are called or what the function is. Anyone out there in Garagejournal-land seen...

This thing came from a garage sale, and I'm totally perplexed. The little dies apparently fit into the handle, but what you do next I don't have a clue! There are a couple of numbers on it, and I've checked the US patents, to no avail. Those numbers are 4687579, followed by "U.S.", and...

Hi--I bought this along with a whole bunch of diesel stuff, and have never seen one before. It apparently is hydraulic, and seems to be a Caterpillar pressure tester of some sort. There is a decal on the end that says "valve identification diagram", but I can't locate anything on line. The...

Hi--I bought these from the estate of an old diesel mechanic, and cannot identify them. I'm sure the assembled geniuses of the Garage Journal can, however, in very short order. Anyone seen anything like these before? They are from Snap-on, and have numbers like MC-81-89. Thanks in...

Hi--I bought this tool kit yesterday, having never seen one before, but figuring I could identify it because the box said "Okuma", and the 3 metric open end wrenches were marked "Netsuma". Boy, was I wrong! The only thing I could find was one for sale on eBay, the guy called a type LS, but...

Hi--I picked this thing up at a yard sale, it's a OTC 213012, but for some reason I can only find that number described as a drive pin replacer, which it isn't. It might be some sort of striking tool, is 3" across, and weighs just under 3 pounds. I'm sure there is someone out there in...

I'm frustrated! I can't remember the name of this darn thing, and I'm sure the collective intelligence/knowledge/wisdom of this group can put this to rest in very short order. The box appears to be a Snap-on, but there is no identification on the stuff inside. I know Snap-on does make...

Hi--these should be easy for the collective genius in Garagejournalland, but I was unable to find anything in the current catalogue, in collectingsnap-on.com or on Google. The puller is a Snap-on M-1325, I think it is for diesel, but don't know the application. The other one is a Snap-on...

This apparently has something to do with torque, but specifically what, I cannot say. Suggestions? It's made by MHH Engineering, in England, patent number in England of 744597, distributed by DG Mountz Associates, in San Jose, model DL36. I couldn't find anything on the web, but perhaps the...

Hi-- I picked up these two gems from an old truck mechanic, and although I know a lot about tools, these two have me stumped. The set came in a red Snap-on box, the little one is a Snap-on ST669-1, and seems to be used for adjusting, as it has a Snap-on TM82 on the end, the little...

Hi--I picked up this thing at a yard sale, and have no idea what it might be. Anyone have any ideas? It's 7" long, has a mother of pearl handle, the silver is plate of some kind, and to make matters worse, there are no markings of any kind of the thing. I'm stumped--help! Thanks in advance. Al D.
