Anyone Know what this is For?

Snap on Number 1502  7/16" on One End and 1/2" on the Other

According to the Collecting SnapOn website, it is a water pump wrench for a Hudson.

I suspect those are not real common ;P
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Ferrets are bolted together?  Like Frankenstein's monster, maybe?  Gee, and they're so cute.

I always thought they were assembled with springs, they sure act like it, goofy critters...

I once had one sit perfectly still watching me type for ten minutes, then suddenly jump onto the keyboard and start hopping up and down like a crazed lunetic, then went back to where she was before and sat still to watch me again  like nothing happened...(I guess I was supposed to be sharing..)

I didn't know there were wrenches with the Ferret stuff? Always thought it was just the socket/ratchet tools...huh

bill, the sockets are pressed on the handles......

rusty, the part numbers on the hammerheads are F-xxxx, so they are considered ferret tools. i'm just assuming here but i'd guess it's because the business ends are actually sockets.
