drum brake tools

ah yes, brake spring tools... no matter how many designs you had... they all worked equally as bad... nothing worked better than a screwdriver...it would always get the spring on after a minimum of 6 tries and raise at least one blood blister.

needle nose vise grips work fine for me. No blood blisters.

Nice, I've got a pile of them too. Think there's a museum somewhere that wants them?

Hell, I used mine last week putting brakes on the neighbors truck. By the way, one of those in the first picture is not a brake tool, it's used to remove and replace the dust cover on the front hub or wheel weights (can't see it too good in the pics). You are also missing a brake spring retainer tool.....

Same here. I always use my Vise Grip. I have some of those brake tools in my toolbox. I was given them free many years ago, and have never used them because the Vise Grip works better.

Still use mine often. The spring tool on the top left in the far right photo in my most used drum brake tool. Used mine Sunday on my sons S-10

Yeah I have the snap-on BT11 version and I use it quite a bit. I think I needed it twice at work last week.

Those don't even get dusty or "lost" around my house. Both 71 Chargers and the 69 F100 have drums in the back. Heck one of the Chargers has drums in the front.
