strange tool
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. Engineman http://strangetool.shutterfly.com/ |

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?

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. -- We're all here because we're not all there. |

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. Stan |

Engineman http://strangetool.shutterfly.com/ Its a Sunnen valve spring compressor for side valve engines. see:http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/...compressor.jpg Tom 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. Stan |
