Got a Cool, New (To Me) Tool

[MartyO]

This will come in handy when I need to pull the wipers off of some of the old cars I own/work on.

Have you guys ever seen one of these?

 

[Trucky]

No, never. That package was printed in USA apparently, though, so it gets my support.

At least I think it says that.

How hard is it to remove them without that particular doohickey?

Some can be really hard to remove. A sears battery terminal puller is also a good size for pulling them.

Made in the USA, but I don't think they make 'em any more.

It can be a bee hitch to get the wipers off a car that hasn't had them off in several decades. Trust me!!!

True and true.

Man, I haven't seen one of those in years! Makes me feel old just looking at it!

I am almost going to feel guilty taking it off the card! Almost....

I bought one back in 1989 when they were still made in Lancaster, Pa. They work great on older cars where the arms mount on top, and not under the hood.

Should have bought the battery terminal puller.

First time seeing that tool though.

I have a bunch of the old KD pliers. Don't have those though. My K10 wouldn't mind a pair. Haha.

 

[makgreens]

Thanks.

Use to see all kinds of KD tools on display at parts stores back in the day, have a few myself. Nice.

Those were made when they had the pop on type of arms the battery terminal pullers only work on newer cars the nuts holding them on those pliers are like the seventies maybe eighties but if you work on that stuff they help alot.

They look like this:

I don't think that will work on the older style arms.

Two jaw pullers work better in my experience. Those work great on stubborn hoses though.
