mystery kent moore tools

[Boiler]

I have a heck of a time finding out what some of the specialty tools I run into are. Here I've got two Kent Moore items I can't find info for, and I thought maybe someone here had a part number list or something and could tell me what these were for.

J-23193

J22732

Thanks for any insight!

That J22732 looks like it's for lower strut bolts.

Service Manual says use Tool J-23193. to remove upper bearing nut on steering wheel shaft

J-23193 is part of a "1969 Essential Tools for Steering and Transmission" kit, GM, Chevrolet. (No guarantee expressed or implied).
I don't have a guess for the 22732 but if someone has a Mitchell1 or Alldata subscription, they might be able to find out for you.
Also, some general info from a tool website:
SPX Kent Moore is a large producer of GM auto specialty service tools that are often named by a J-Series number in Mitchell1 on Demand, AllData and other car repair manuals. The Kent Moore Special Service Tool company is owned by the SPX Corporation, one of it's subsidiaries which auto technicians are very familiar with is OTC Tools. Automotive specialty tools made by Kent Moore are designed for automotive technicians for use in automotive maintenance, repair, diagnostics and car manufacturing. SPX Kent Moore specialty tools are used for changing parts...like wrenches, pullers, holders, tools for engine cam and crankshaft alignment and more. SPX companies provide diagnostic solutions for leading brands around the world, including Chevrolet, Nissan, LandRover, Harley-Davidson, Bobcat and others. SPX companies also serve clients in the aerospace, energy, transportation, defense, electronics and other industries.
So..... your 22732 could be for any one of about a million specialty procedures. Good luck!

J-22732 is the striker bolt socket for AMC Cars. If it is for sale let me know.

What size is the first one?

The second looks like a socket made to fit the Banjo nut on a Honda fuel filter. I know there are a couple of companies out there that make those, just never heard of "Kent Moore".

I also have a Kent Moore GM mystery tool I could really use your help on. It is a 9/16" angled box wrench, about 10" overall length,and bears the number J-22744. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like a distributor wrench.

Looks like a distributor wrench.

Yes, I appreciate the suggestion. It certainly reminds one of that at first glance. Trouble is, with just about every distributor wrench I've seen, the design allows to reach down close and parallel to the distributor and then the box end juts out at 90 degrees to grab the nut. On this wrench, the shank goes out at about 45 degrees from the box and then the handle extends down some, making it very likely you'll hit an obstruction during the sweep. And because of these odd angles, it provides a less stable grip on the bolt than would a conventional dist. wrench, so it would definitely not be an improvement unless you had a specific model GM on which there would be no other way to reach that bolt.

So I don't think it's a distributor wrench.
