Kent Moore Crowfoot?
« on: October 20, 2013, 02:51:49 PM »
Hi,

I think I have a Kent Moore crowfoot. The wrench has KM of USA logo with a
J5680 stamped above. I'm curious about the history of Kent Moore and when this wrench may have been made. I also have another unknown marked GB2410.

Thanks,
Chris

Looks like it's for steering rack lock nuts. J numbered tools are usually dealership specialty tools.
Gm used J numbered tools , among others.
Of all the things I've lost , I miss my mind the most

J56xx numbers would be mid-late 1950's

(The numbers go up over time)

>Gm used J numbered tools , among others

Kent Moore 's office was in the GM building , they had a rather close relationship;P

Many of the tools KM made for other cars also ended up being tools for GM cars because GM bought 1/2 of the car makers in existance....

The round crowsfoot says Aviation to me....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
