Auto Maker Marked Tools

[Private Lugnutz]

Pulled this out of a cantilevered box at the flea this morning. Ford cotter pin puller?

 

[ConductorChris]

Dug through a pail of old wrenches I've accumulated over the years from auctions.

 

[ConductorChris]

I don't know if these are auto wrenches - anyone have any idea who made these? One is fully in Japanese and the other has TAS on it.

Chevrolet had a feeler gauge made by Kent-Moore, I think, in the 1930s.

More than feeler gauges which are for spark plug gap, breaker points & intake & exhaust valves. Also 2" ruler, carb float adjuster, 2 wrench
for retainer nuts and a screwdriver.

Here is an Austin Whitworth wrench that I forgot to post on this thread.

I have seen the GM Goodwrench tools, but was saddened to see them marked Taiwan.

The USA made GM Goodwrench combo wrenches are pretty darn decent
I like them

Most of my Toyota marked wrenches are chrome plated but this one isn’t.

This little screwdriver is the only VOLVO tool I've found. I don't have a photo of the whole tool, but it has a flat blade and is 7" long. It's interesting that they would mark it IMPORT.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

I have seen Ford, Fiat, BMW, Mercedes, Austin, and Toyota.

Picked up this decently made midget DBE wrench this morning at the flea. I don't know anything about it or what era Fix It Again Tony car it may have been associated with. I just get a kick out of reading and pronouncing the Italian rendition of Chrome Molybdenum.

This Vlchek-forged Cadillac 13593 DOE turned up at a brief flea-stop this morning.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

The Cadillac of....er, um, Cadillac Wrenches!

Terrific find, LS.

 

[WisJim]

Aero-Willys, 1952-1955. It's a wrench but probably more of a promotional item than an often used tool. It's 3 inches long.

Here's a whole thread on Mopar tools.

@WisJim - your 3-inch adjustable is a dead-on match to the Gormully & Jeffery models that a couple of us here own. I have seen the same wrench advertising other companies' names. No question it was made up as a promotional item, but we've yet to figure out who actually made them.

I picked up a couple of Ford tools today

I believe that one is a Kawasaki tool kit wrench.

I picked one more today manufactured by Frank Mossberg for Ford… 1” on the one end and 15/16” on the other end. Just looking now to try and figure out approximately what year it might be. So far, I’ve found a model number #634 and after some searching I’m guessing the wrench to be from the 1920 era.

 

[leg17]

Some Cadillac marked wrenches. I don’t know much about them.
Some might be from auto supplied tool-kits. Others could be factory supplied service tools.
Wish I knew.

If it ain't a tool, what is it? I probably use this more often than all the tools shown in this tread get used! I keep one in the shop, one in the brewery and one in, of course, the Toyota. We mostly use them to support and/or position equipment. When leveling a three-ton centrifuge, it's awful handy to be able to lift one corner at a time with the little jack instead of trying to lift it with the screw-in leveling feet.

I was elated to pick up this Stutz wrench at the flea this morning. It has a considerable offset. Judging only by its resemblance to wrenches of similar types and size openings, I am guessing it has something to do with hubs or dustcaps, or both. Dating it to the 1913-1938 time period is easy, but I don't know what model Stutz automobile it is associated with, I don't know anything about Stutz toolkits, and I have not yet done any research on them, the P/N ("7164"), etc. At first I thought that foundry symbol was Lakeside Forge, but now I am not so sure.

@Private Lugnutz
Fiat tools with the SAT XXXX marking were factory tools supplied to Fiat Dealership workshops. Iirc, SAT was an abbreviation for 'Special Application Tool'.
11mm was an unusual size, certainly on the older Fiat's, the only place I can recall this size being used was on the valve adjuster locknut on the old overhead valve (pushrod) engines. I can't determine this from your pics, but is this wrench sized 11mm on both ends?

I'm not sure where that wrench is. If I find it, I'll report back.

I have one GM Performance 12mm deep socket. I have no idea where it came from.

GM Performance Parts tools?

Hey all, I was in the pawn shop today - and they have literal bucket-loads of sockets and tools. While going through a few (I of course bought some craftsman, proto, and crescent sockets; along with a modified KD flare wrench) I found a few extension bars that were labeled as "GM Performance...

Here's an old Indian from gramp's garage:

 

[d42jeep]

I recently found this screwdriver marked TOYOTA. I knew it was made in Japan, based on another one I'd found, but the TOYOTA mark was a pleasant surprise.





I also found this Phillips screwdriver which is very similar. I'm sure it was made in Japan, but I don't see any markings. I wonder if Toyota included one of these in their tool kits.



EDIT, it didn't take much Googling to answer that question. Here's a 72-74 Landcruiser tool roll.

I found this #2 Phillips with a wood handle at an estate sale yesterday. I didn’t discover the Toyota Motor markings until I got it home and cleaned it up some.

No, the box is not original. It's a reproduction.

Update… picked up another Ford Wrench, same as the one I already had… the handle shape is slightly different. This is more straight while the first one had a slight curved shape.

These Mercedes marked DOE wrenches don’t seem too rare as a few have been posted upthread. Here is one I found recently.

I have an Alpha Romeo DOE (quite rusty - not worth posting till I clean it up...)
