Mystery mechanic's tools.

[Uncle Jimmy]

I was given some old kit by a retired mechanic recently, most of it's familiar to me, a couple of bits not.

Some kind of reamer marked 'Hunger, made in Germany' 1 1/16- 1 3/16. Whatever it's for its a narrow range and has an odd sized square drive at one end for a tap wrench?

Second is a Sykes Pickyourarse, a nut breaker or chain link breaker? Hydraulic I think.

The top one is an "expanding reamer" and the other is a nut splitter

[chaseracer]

'Ouch', on both counts.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Yeah, guessed it was some kind of reamer, I wonder what there is on a car you'd use it for?

[red5]

Probably something akin to king pins.

[michael1703]

Kingpins or steering idlers mainly, nothing you'd find on a pre 1980ish car really

Post 1980 shirley?

[michael1703]

Doh, yeah some 80ish BL is all I can think of

 

Mgb up to 81 but that needs a stepped reamer which is about £200
