Title: a couple different"what's it's"
Post by: swervncarz on May 18, 2013, 10:17:29 PM

Can anyone tell me anything about these tools?

These 2 are a little over 3" tall

This is 12" long, marked with numbers pictured

These are 9" long. Looks like E.B. Co Boston

All I can tell you is that the second picture is not a tool. It's the lever that releases the clutch in a car (or truck) The forked end holds the throw-out bearing, the round socket fits over a ball stud and that's the pivot and the end with the holes is where the rod fits that moves when you push in a clutch. If the third picture is of the same piece, it's off a GM vehicle.

the first pic looks like a wrench to remove threaded curb box covers in gas station for underground tanks . also some water and natural gas curb boxes use them  bob w.
