odd Plomb custom FlexHead wrench

[iandh]

It's called a "knuckle set" because they efficiently remove the skin from your knuckles? If most of the diesel techs have a set that couldn't be the answer. So what is a "knuckle set" used for?

And I second fatfillup - I'm jealous!

I'm just repeating what he said. When I showed him the pics, there wasn't a hint of surprise in his face, and he instantly recognized the tool. It wasn't like he had to think about it or something.

It isn't just a standard shop either... they've been open since the 40's and specialize in rare engines, and I'm sure they have many tools which have long since been discontinued.

If no luck try an email Bob Thomas at the Plomb Tools website. He has always helped me out with tough id's.

Just came across a post on jalopyjournal that reminded me of this tool: HAMB "Vintage" Tool Box Club

The idea is the same... mechanisms are similar but inverse.
