Bar is the metric equivalent of psi.

I uploaded the photo to ChatGPT and asked it to ID the mfg. It replied: "The cartoon graphic looks very much like the late-1960s to 1970s branding used by Waterloo Industries toolboxes, especially the bright orange metal cantilever and tackle-style boxes they sold under both the Waterloo name...

Some of Jimmy Hoffa's body parts?

A subsequent Ford catalog with info on the 5Z prefix tools:

Subsequent versions of the same tool. 3Z is the earliest and available for the Model T.

That is really interesting. The "Z" prefix tools were generally for commercial usage and were found in dealership service areas and commercial garages. The most common Z tools were 3Z (Model T) and 5Z (Model T and A). I've seen tools with 14, 18, and 20, but never a 19Z before. Some of the...

I'm sorry, but that is not correct. The square tang will not be found on the adjustable wrenches in correct owner tool kits for Ford N tractors produced from 1939 through 1954. If you look over at my avatar photo, you will see the owner's tool kit for my '52 Ford 8N tractor. Note the missing...

They are T-1917 band adjusting open-end wrenches that came in Model T owner tool kits.

I've always measured overall length, because I assumed that was correct. Key word is "assume."

Those would be for the Model-A cars. The Model-T versions had part numbers (T-1387) on them, and were replaced by the A-17021 and B-17021 versions used through 1939, and then replaced with the 01A-17021 version. They did not have part numbers on them, which is why the measurement comes into...

It that one is 8-1/4" long, it is from a Ford Tractor owner tool kit included in 1940 and up models.

Yep, the screwdrivers are the most rare, and the pliers with the screwdriver handle end are the next most rare.

The screwdrivers for the T and up through the early 50's Ford tractors are rare and get good money if in very good condition. They had wooden handles and many did not survive the years.

Do your coils look similar to this one?

So.... @Ed in Virginia .... does this unit fall into "T" or "A" category? It is definitely a Model T era tire pump. First I've seen of a dual-tube type like that. Pretty cool. It was not included in Ford owner tool kits, but sold as an aftermarket item at parts stores, etc., for a variety of...

A later version of the 15 or 16. They got a little longer and thicker later on. The "M" indicates it was manufactured by Manzel.

Yep, they are about the most common and easy to find Ford hand tools. The adjustable wrench is for Model A Fords - the tang in the bottom is used to remove the differential drain bolt. That same wrench without the tang came with Model Ts and Ford tractors. The two in the middle are spark...

I am a long-time Ford tool collector. If you can post some pics, I will see if I can help identify them for you.
