My father Has this ratchet set that his father gave to him. Most of its part's are pretty normal looking Stamped sockets And it came in a leather case.

The universal joint adapter was the one that stuck out in my mind, and when I saw this thread I decided to go look on the internet for a picture.

My father has a large quantity of Old tools That one day He will give to me and I will give to my son.

My family on my Fathers side were from Michigan. He and my Grandfather both worked for G.M, Grand pa Was A tool and die maker and when G.M came up with a new part they would go to him (and others) For ways to set up various jigs and molds for the mass production of said part.

My Father worked in the Gear and axle division assembling Axles. His dad got him the job and he worked there for awhile until he packed up and moved to Arizona.

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Nope, sorry.

Don't think they make valve springs that little
but good guess none the less. :)

I didn't know, before searching, and I didn't even have the parts name obscured! :)

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Motomech, thanks so much for posting and sharing your family history. Can you take picks of some of the tools your Dad and Grandpa used to use?

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Kool story motomech !

ET, Don't go mark'n me MIA just yet..... Gotta dig through some of grandpa's old tools, Be back later.....

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Oh boy, now I'm jealous...much rather spend Sunday morning digging through neat old tools than sitting here at the computer! :D

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Next time I go visit him (200 miles away) Ill snap some pics!

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Well ET, I would have been most happy to trade places with ya today !!!

After four hours of scrounging around in two different hot tin roof out buildings, I was about to give up when determination prevailed. I found that hammer knocker shoved way up under a work bench against the wall..... :clap:

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Here are 2 not usually used together but one can be used with a previously posted tool

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Just guessing: The first one is an alignment tool and the second squeezes the c clamp on leaf springs for retention.

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!
 

Right, #1 is a caster/Kingpin alignment tool for straight axles and #2 is for separating leafs in the springs to replace the rub blocks or add grease
