Title: Kent-Moore info offered and needed
Post by: skipskip on March 11, 2012, 09:26:31 PM: This week we bought out an older closed Chevrolet dealership.

My take was the 6 large boxes of Kent-Moore factory tools.

What I know so far is:

KM has been making specialty tools for auto and other industries for years.

they seem to use J numbers on their tools.

they make some pretty darn weird stuff.

Does anyone have a link to catalogs on line or any way to discover what these things are by the numbers?

Thanks

[papaw beat me to it]

For the older numbers, I have some catalogs....

Tomorrow my family will be taking a short trip, returning Monday. Then maybe I can be of some help.

Well, I WAS going to, but after looking up dozens of tools to find they were one of several choices.

bushing driver

bearing puller

.... installer

or tool for use with transmission

I got discouraged.

Seems you need to know what it is, before you can find out what it does..

they seem well made tho.
