What is this tool for ???
 

Poking around in one of my pop's toolboxes I found these two tools.
It appears that they were once one a double ended tool and pop cut it in two.
Probably a clearance issue.
One end is a hex socket the other a spanner.
Maybe someone has one similar.
Any ideas ???

Brake spring hold down tool
Sorry, after closer look not that. Maybe for adjusting solid lifter rocker arms.

Itty, bitty nut driver and a special key to unlock a coin machine.

Re: What is this tool for ???
 

the left one looks like a nut driver the right looks like the tool too remove ignition switch on the 50s fords.thats my guess

Re: What is this tool for ???
 

Looks like a distributor tool. The slotted driver end fits the primary post on a 216 Chevy, if I remember. Looks too small to fit an ignition switch.

Install and remove carb jets and needle valves? Just a thought.

Don't know but it's a goodun !!

Re: What is this tool for ???
 

I think the one on the right is for the barrel nut used on the crab distributors.

Re: What is this tool for ???
 

Standard zerk and alamite pin zerk tools?

Re: What is this tool for ???
 

the one on the right may be used to remove some of the 49 to 53 bezels on the dash (light switch) i have one with the similar two small extensions to remove the locking ring on the switch retainer.

As stated above. Carburetor jet and component installation/removal tools.

I don't have it here to compare.

When I was doing tune up service on Chevy 6 distributors, I had a tool that looked like that.

It may well work for carburetor service also.

I Think they are for carb. jets

Re: What is this tool for ???
 

It is a tool used on the older Delco distributors. It fit the stud & nut thru bolt on the low voltage terminal on the side of dist.
Picture of an un-altered tool.

Muffler bearing remover. Pete/Ct.

Thanks 42'merc !

I am going to mount it on the wall with about 30
other obsolete and unidentified old tools I have.

When they have my auction they will probably go
for a pittance as nobody will know what they are for.

Re: What is this tool for ???
 

if the nut driver is 5/16 it's should fit the hex on the cutouts for those that have them. I agree with some of the post that the protruding slot one is for the special nuts that are on the primary side of the coil lead (s).
I have one as posted by 42 merc. KR Wilson made a similar for use on the applications I have noted.

Those were probably originally part of the larger tool that was cut in two to make the individual drivers.

I didn't measure the hex, but the old Delco ignition terminals (coil & dist) used an 11/32" hex nut.
