Found 2 tool boxes in scrap pile.

[ex-x-fire]

Let see what's in side of these two Craftsman boxes.
Mostly cheap sockets, Master Mechanic stuff. So of the larger sockets are stamped USA while others a Taiwanese. The 3/8 ratchet is USA while the 1/4 is unmarked cheapie. The files are quality pieces, lightly used. Pocket knife is a Case and is very sharp. The V shaped thing has me stumped, it has Ford trademark stamped in it along with an L.

Here's a few more pictures. Looks like the previous owner was into everything. That Big M thing is an ice scraper.

Ball joint separator?

Nah, nearly square stock that's bent into a V.

Looks like a magnet. If not magnetic then a rare nonmagnetic magnet.

Cool, I'll see if my neighbor knows that. He's into old fords.

Too bad the Big M Marathon credit union is gone, replaced by a marathon gas station.

I have one of those horseshoe things as well, it came with a large lot of random tools I acquired. Nice to know what it is, I just use it as a paperweight.

Wow, it's amazing what morons will throw away. Basic set of tools like that can save a person thousands if they know how to use them. Great find.

#10 above is closest to correct. It is where the magnets interact to generate the electricity in the magneto on a Model T Ford. They are attached to the flywheel, not the clutch.

I'll stand corrected....

Hey thanks, I’ve been kicking one of those around for years.

Yep, nice save. Is that a little gold glitter screwdriver? Looks like the Snap On 50th anniversary one.

What application is the clutch alignment tool?

Found 'em in a scrap pile, huh? Sure ya did, kid. Now turn around, put your hands behind your back...


I'm pissed. I just paid $10 for one of those Heritage boxes with the tray. ...it was full of nice stuff, but that's beside the point!
