Oddball tools

[Guido Salvage]

We all have odd or unusual tops in our box, let's see what you have. Several months ago I purchased a box and it had these 4 Wizard screwdrivers on a 3/8" extension that look brand new.



Along the same lines I have these 1/2" ones, looks like they might work nicely for front end work on older vehicles. The one on the left is Proto.

This is a set of Wizard hose clamp pliers that are used on the old style wire radiator hose clamps.

The Proto and the other one is for drag links.

Reed Prince by Craftsman. Also known as Frearson? If any of you would like it or could use it let me know.

I need a set of JIS #2 and #3 if anyone has a spare.

I found a couple of Reed Prince tools in my lot of screwdrivers last week.

I can honestly say I've never used it. Won't fit standard Phillips. What was the name of the oddball British measurement tools? Not metric, SAE, not JIS, it was an old system used on autos.

 

[Guido Salvage]

I believe you are thinking of (British Standard) Whitworth.

Thanks, Whitworth it is. Couldn't remember that for the life of me.

Somewhere I have a box of unmarked off size sockets that I inherited that were supposedly for "secure military devices", apparently made to be not metric or SAE and I know they never fit anything I tried though there was one socket that was cone shaped inside with ridges that would let it grip rounded fasteners, all apparently circa WW1
