Title: Ford Lifter #2
Post by: moparthug on September 20, 2018, 06:10:06 PM

This one confuses me, marked as a Ford Lifter #2, but has two 5 point socket ends and a wide flat head screwdriver end. 5 point sockets are for water works like fire hydrants, right? Or were they used on tractors and farm implements as well?

Its a meter box key for water meters.

Check out Ford meter boxes!

Yup, that's it, I kept trying to see a Ford tractor tool in this thing. Thanks!

My wrench like that is not marked Ford, but I use it quite frequently.  I had a real nice 4 way one that I got at a yard sale for 5.00.  I lost it doing leak detection.
