What is this tool?

[texasranger]

I purchased a Cornwell Classic tool chest from the son of an auto body man. The son just wanted rid of the box and tools. Aside from the standard paint guns, sanders, hammers, bucking bars, there are two tools that I'm not sure what they are used for or are called. The bottom one in the pic could be home made, but the with machined grooves cut on the shaft, it's got some time invested. The top tool in the pic is definitely OEM, but have only guesses as to what it's for. Anyone know?

I'm guessing / participating here. The below tool looks like something that might hook into a panel for pulling / straightening.

Yup. Monkey On a Stick is what it is sometimes called. It works like a jack on a long bar.

The top one looks like a door jammer. Latch one part in the latch, hook the other part on the striker and it holds the door open while you work on the outside of it.

I believe the bottom tool is a home-made tool, made from an old brake or clutch pedal. The machined grooves are for C-clips that originally held the pedal into a cast iron housing--generally the master cylinder.

The picture kdog linked on amazon looks exactly the same. Maybe someone made a bunch from old car parts and is selling them?!
