Kent-Moore info offered and needed
« on: March 11, 2012, 09:26:31 PM »
This week we bought out an older closed Chevrolet dealership.

 My take was the 6 large boxes of Kent-Moore factory tools.

What I know so far is:

KM has been making specialty tools for auto and other industries for years.

they seem to use J numbers on their tools.

they make some pretty darn weird stuff.

Does anyone have a link to catalogs on line or any way to discover what these things are by the numbers?

Thanks

The J numbers, that aren't too old, can be looked up online

[papaw beat me to it]

For the older numbers, I have some catalogs....

I too once bought out the parts and service dept's at a defunct Chevy Dealership, and came home with a LOT of Kent Moore tools. I do have several older catalogs.
Tomorrow my family will be taking a short trip, returning Monday. Then maybe I can be of some help.

Well, I WAS going to, but after looking up dozens of tools to find they were one of several choices.

bushing driver

bearing puller

.... installer

or tool for use with transmission


I got discouraged.

Seems you need to know what it is, before you can find out what  it does..

they seem well made tho.

The web site can be less than helpfull sometimes. Post some numbers, I can tell you what car the tool fits sometimes....
