Will you be selling some of these?

#3 is a fan bolt wrench for older cars. I have one with 3 or 4 different sockets that go with it. Never used it but I have it if I ever need to work on an old car! Got it in a lot of tools off ebay.

Wow, you guys are very quick, and thanks for all the useful info. A few of the tools are still unconfirmed/conflicting.
All of these are open to offers if you have interest. I probably don't need most of it as I only work on old small European cars, which are 99% metric.

I am amazed that reptilezs knew what #13 was, I thought that would be forever a mystery.

(BTW, Numbers 11 and 17 were removed before I finalized the post as I discovered what they were.)

I also have a huge quantity of Snap On wrenches, 5 SO impact socket sets, some axle wrenches, scanners etc. Basically I kept the metric stuff and the SAE stuff is open to offers. The mechanic worked mainly on trucks, GM and Chrysler.

Check out this folder for things and shoot me a PM if you are interested. I normally sell for half or less retail price. Some of the things have initials on them, others are brand new. Nearly all appear to be unused or hardly ever used. This guy was probably the laziest mechanic in the US, judging by the excellent condition of his tools.

Sorry, I was wrong on that one. I was thinking of the long ratcheting tensioner wrench. I also bought the set years ago thinking it was for belt replacement. I think mine is Craftsman though.
