Default Re: Ford Tools

I grew up in the home of a water meter reader which I also became while going to college. I immediately recognized the wrench first posted as a water meter wrench to open the water meter lids and lift them up to read water meters. After opening and lifting the lid we had to reach in and tap the side of the meter with the wrench to shake the condensed moisture off of the inside of the meter lens so we could read the meter. I could do that whole operation without even getting off of the Honda Trail 70 I was riding. Two of us would ride along on two bikes alternating meters yelling out the numbers to mom who was following along in the car writing the numbers down. Quite the circus traveling around.

As has been explained, it's a whole different Ford than the one we know and love.
