Blue-Point Tool
« on: October 29, 2015, 06:54:34 PM »
Hello, All.  I have run out of places to look, none of my catalogs show this tool, and google searches have come up empty. The handle sticker reads BLUE-POINT  WAB542  Made in U.S.A. Thanks, Lou

I can't see the ends very well , has the look of a flywheel turner.
Would probably work on a belt the same way.

I thought flywheel tool also, but the angle of the handle is odd & the ends don't look quite right.  A larger photo may help!!  Snap On lists it in repair parts as "tool no longer available"  their title for the number is CAST/CAM TL.

I think its a wheel alignment tool. Can you take a closeup of the label? I can get an idea of age and look in some catalogs.

I did not find it in any of my catalogs or on collectingsnapon.com but I still believe it is a caster/camber adjustment tool. possibly made by specialty products?

I think Krusty is right , especially since it has " Cast/Cam " on the part description.
Not a flywheel turner as I first thought. I would guess for Ford or Chrysler products of the 70's ,
but it has a weird angle to the handle , might be a Van tool?

I believe the WA prefix is for wheel alignment. Unless we can find the application we can't explain the bend but it may be for getting around a/c compressors.

Hello, All. Thanks again for all the info. I searched a current Specialty Products Catalog, and came up empty, probably dis-continued with them too. Regards, Lou
