I was going thru my tool box today and came across a few tools.
Any guesses on what they are? Bonus points for the last one.

Both of you are far off, none of the tools where my creations. But I did use them in the 80's and 90's and could still be useful today if you had to fix certain models of cars.

Tool # 1 is the first line of defense. Tool #2 is what you use if tool #1 gets stuck, and tool #3 is what you throw across the shop in the event that both tool #1 and tool #2 fail. :beer:

1. is a s8659c oil sender switch wrench
2. ?
3. My guess is that its a holder for a pulley or damper so that you can remove a bolt.

1. specialty tool for mid-80's car.

2. see #1

3. see #2

actually my guess is #1 is a removal tool for something, #2 bearing puller/seater, #3 a box wrench for an application where a normal one wouldn't fit!

Now I'm guessing 2 and 3 go together. 2 could be an AC or power steering seal tool.

#1 is a wrench for GM oil sending units
#2 nobody is close
#3 is for a Ford ******/tempo but not for anything to do with the timing belt. Another hint is it has 8 sides not 6 and it fits a nut that is 17.3mm

Don't knock ****** timing belts, I could knock them out in less then 45 min unless I had to replace the water pump.

****** belts were great, but it was the overall package that was less than exemplary. But then again remember the Citation.....

Ed is correct, #2 is a Riv-Nut installer.
Johnnywhale, yes I remember Citations, Vegas, Pintos..........

So I think I have everyone stumped on what #3 is for. I actually used it so much that this one is a replacement for my original. My old boss use to brag that he sent his 2 kids thru college on the money he made changing front suspension parts on Escorts/Tempos.
That wrench was made specifically for the nuts that hold the front swaybar to the brackets. In Fords great wisdom they used a 8 sided nut that was swegged into place, that's why the oddball size (17.3mm) It is bent like that to be able to get it on the nuts.
