Stopped at the barn sale and picked up these neat things for reasonable money.

IHC wrench, Mac wrench 3/16 and 1/4, Heller Masterench - Made in Newark, NJ where I was born, a Basin Wrench with no markings - adjust by sliding collar that has a lock screw to hold the setting.
The little puller has one "tooth" shorter than the other side.

The wrenches after a visit to the wire wheel.  The wire brush was part of the purchase also.

Here's the basin wrench. Does anyone know the maker?  I can't find any markings on it.  Seems a clever design - but maybe its hard to adjust properly?

This side of the basin wrench shows the square head locking bolt.  Sliding the bar up or down changes the wrench opening.

The little puller has a hand etched number - HS-19 - does anyone recognize this?  Maybe a puller for small engines?
Thanks for lookin'

Does the small puller look like it had a tapered end cap on threaded end?   It almost looks like part of a flaring tool.

Hi geneg,  No, it does not appear to have had anything on the screw end.  It is sorta rounded.  The threads will need to be cleaned in order to unscrew it from the frame.
Thanks
