Title: no name flathead valve spring tool
Post by: oldgoaly on August 31, 2015, 11:48:55 AM

has some numbers in the castings, e83, e82,  maybe a makers mark (didn't put it under the magnifier)
Does it look familiar? maybe sold under different retailers name?

I have 4 of those. No name on any of them. I figured they were made for Sears Or Montgomery Ward
and mom and pop auto parts , so they could put there sticker on them.
They work well , just the quality a home mechanic needs to do a valve job every three years or so.

I see them quite often for a buck or two a piece with no markings. Have only ran on to one with a name on it.

the other one is finally done swimming in mollasses it says Sunnen, which is just across the river in St.Louis. Looks like the no name but stamped steel. Trying to get things cleaned up before it cools down too much.
