Tools we don't need but can't throw away - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sure looks like a version of an open end ratchet, but the AC logo throws me off. Makes me think it's specific for something related to filters.

Pretty cool , search vintage AC filter wrench . You can buy one on ebay.

My Guess is install/removal of Npt for oil filter stud?

Not sure but it has ac filter service on the side so I’m thinking it’s for the ac lines where the orifice tube goes?

Warrens69GMC · 05-27-2023, 01:16 PM

I have a couple of these floating around....haven't used them in like 10 years....

**3757chevy** · 05-27-2023, 06:47 PM

Like my old oil can spouts I haven't used in years. [sorry no pics]

I still use these for my Lathe to Lubricate the headstock bearings and oil holes.
The ones I inherited from my Grandpa I keep safe.

I have slowed down my addiction of these pop oil cans

I only look for the small ones now.

**special-K** · 05-29-2023, 11:11 AM

I still have a Pennzoil 50w Racing Oil can and a fancy yellow rubber coated spout. I think I still have a 1 gallon tin can from Sears.

I always say I'll never get rid of any tool, but I have an exception. More like piece of equipment. But I certainly would sell before ever throwing any tool away. Someone can use it.

Here's what I sold in March

Oh yeah, at least one.

**special-K** · 05-31-2023, 06:03 AM

Yes, at least one. I only buy the miniatures. These came with sewing machines and other machinery that needed occasional drops of oil

Talk about organization! I'm jealous. I might pop by.

**special-K** · 06-01-2023, 06:11 AM

Great to see I'm not the only one collecting spigot handles. Maybe I'm not as weird as I thought! (Not sure how that affects what others think, though

)

Chevy nutcase · 06-02-2023, 10:04 PM

I too am not only guilty of not getting rid of tools I don't need but buying tools I don't need. Yard sales and flea markets I'm drawn to them like flies lol. But I decorate with then and some like the drill press from 1905 and the weird hose nozzle from the 20s are somewhat useful. I tried to orient these pics but this site insists you turn your phone to look at it instead lol

**Getter-Done** · 06-02-2023, 10:24 PM

My Truck will swerve in a Driveway that has a Yard sale sign in it.

I would buy another truck but I am sure it would do the same Thing

Not sure that the rotation made that wrench snake look any better.

Whoops
That one didn't need a Rotate.

72c20customcamper · 06-03-2023, 09:36 AM

Old Bell saw sharp- all works great but I have a small bench top chain sharpener that is way more convenient

**special-K** · 06-03-2023, 10:10 AM

^^^ I have the same Delta planer.
