There's a club devoted to Ford tools: National Ford Tool Collectors https://fordtoolcollector.org/
It's a very small group but someone there might be able to help identify your tools.

The top one is a universal piston ring groove cleaning tool.

I'm pretty sure the new wrench is a basin wrench for plumbing.

The bottom one looks like something made from a short leaf spring? Agree with the basin wrench or other type of plumbing tool ID.


Edit: Husky adjustable plumbing wrench

The third item looks like a jewelers or gunsmith clamp. It looks like this:

The above is not mine but I have one if anyone needs one for there collection.

The item in the center with the big wingut is a hand vise. used by machinists, watchmakers, jewelers, etc.


Edit, you beat me to it!

I have a hand vise and use it often.

Hi Tom; The fourth one down reminds me of a wrench for a distributor anchor bolt, or oil pressure sender anchor bolt except the opening seems too large, Craig.

The new shiny one is an adjustable drain wrench. The clamp next to it is actually a small bench vise. The long L shaped wrench below that is an early basin wrench. The home made tools at the bottom are for setting sewer pipe lead joints.

The only one I can identify is the steel "Vampire Death Spike" - third from the bottom. :eek::eek::eek:

No, It would have to be made out of wood to work.

Haha. I thought the same, but I didn't want to kill B&S's vibe.

Silver bullets, wooden spikes and a rope of garlic for good measure.

My first thought was a wrench to change the oil pressure sending unit, I made one very similar to change the unit on my 40 but agree it is too big.
