Thought I'd share some photos of latest buys.
The Pexto is a neat wrench , seems to be very high quality, easy operation.
Seems like the 15" size is not as common as the smaller sizes.

The Blackhawk 4950 is for 25-27 Chevy clutch adjustment

Herbrand 2336 is for Model T , getting at head bolts under the firewall

There is something wrong with that Pexto monkey wrench.   The name is still legible, not beat upon with a hammer.  The handle is straight, and not curved 22 degrees out of kilter.  I have a good set of the Blackhawk, and Walden-Worcester socket tools, but not seen that one before.  Is it that clean or somebody hit it with the aluminum paint?   Good tools, not too shabby a find.

I got a 6 1/2" baby pexto to keep the 15" company.Also thought the B&C would go good hanging next to them

The Ford 2336 is a specialty tool for pulling No. 4 main bearing via the oil pan access panel.  It doubles as a spark plug wrench.   It was rather difficult to drop a T oil pan without removing the entire motor.
   Babbit bearing repairs were done as they failed more than as a set in tough times.
The only bad tool is the one that couldn't finish the job.  Ironicly it may be the best tool for the next job.

Thanks Strik9, my info came from an ad on ebay , said it was to get at head bolts under fire wall.
Maybe some model T owner will need it.
