Hydrospanner

Was just an educated guess, I don’t know. Sorry.

Holy Smokes! Helluva nice collection!

Be aware brother man that you could get banned for a week over something that seems trivial to you. Aside from that, you have done a great job restoring that machine, and because of you it live again.

Oh I’m pretty sure you will…😉

The yellow things are winches for a body shop to pull automotive frames back straight. But I am always wrong 🤣

I remember when I saw Star Wars in ‘77 at the big mall-theater place in Lake Jackson tx. and Han Solo asked Chewie to bring him the Hydrospanner , I went, wait, what?…you mean the Water Pump pliers?🤣. …proves how you misrember things over time, that scene was in “Return of the Jedi “. Unless...

As far as I know those were all made by Moore, but I’m nearly always wrong. I have several of their “Ford” car or tractor wrenches. Any other markings it has are not anything that I know about. The many variations I have seen pop up everywhere and are usually priced anywhere from fifty...

. I really like the background you chose and the light is very good. I need to work on both those things myself with pics I post. Very Pretty screwdriver, and nicely preserved and presented!👍

Thanks folks, the wealth of combined knowledge and input on site never ceases to amaze me. Hats off to you!!

Also haven’t found anything about the company…It says ‘Syracuse’. Kinda busy today since it is quite warm and sunny here and the cedar pollen isn’t making me sick. I will do more digging this evening.

I call my beloved wife “ Calamity Jane “. Because she always sees trouble of the worst kind when there’s no such thing actually happening….Is that hysteresis energy going around? . 🤣. But seriously, I know enough barely kinda know what you are talking about….please tell (us) more sometime.👍

. I find the wrenches in ones and twos, never a full set. The pliers look good!..

“Well Below Saturation “…. Is that good or bad?

This isn’t much better. Lots of pitting right on the RAY…rest is pretty good.

. I love the smell of opening an old wooden box that used to have-or still does have-old oily metal things in it…magic.
