A friend gave me a bunch of old automotive tools.
I knew what most of them were but this one stumps me.
Any ideas?
I'd like to sell these tools on Craigslist.

1) The site wants JavaScript to be enabled (just for a picture)?

2) Once it is enabled, it wants a site password which you
supposedly gave us. :-)

Two strikes -- you're out.

Enjoy,

O.K. I don't recognize it - -but the Sunnen brand suggests that
it is related to their bore honing machines -- perhaps for installing
honeing stones in the hones?

Enjoy,

Could it be a valve lifter compressor?

No chance. They have curved jaws to hold the spring and washer.


Personally, I think it's one of those women's toe compressors which
prep the foot, allowing them to get their toes into those pointyass
shoes they like to wear.

Perhaps some kind of fence tensioner? Rob H. has
lots of them...;)}

It looks a lot like tools we used to use to compress springs on the rear
shock absorbers of older motorcycles.

I think you're pretty close on that. Granddaddy had a pair of those
in his garage when my sister cleaned it out. He was a mechanic. They
were rusted up worse than that so they went for scrap and I didn't get
a close look, one day they were there, the next time I looked, gone.
Ignoring the Sunnen connection, I don't think they always built just
honing equipment, how about clamps for assembling/dismantling leaf
spring bundles? Don't know for sure, but the ones I saw had just
about spacing enough to manage that.

Its a Sunnen valve spring compressor for side valve engines.

OK, I'll bet the clips that went with it were in one of the bags of
rust out there. I do have the eggbeater-style valve grinder that went
with it somewhere, had a semi-circular end that fit in the slot in the
valve head. Not a lot of call for either these days.
