sunnen tool-what is it?

[cas3]

stopped by an old shop today and this stuff was getting thrown out (not the motor or the cat) the red stuff all has sunnen written on it, no one there new what it was, and the big threaded thing was for pressing in ball joints they say, but i am going to make some dies to fit the base for pressing spring perch bushings in & out. nice heavy duty thing, i am excited about it. what is the sunnen stuff? thanks, skip

Darn, I was hoping they were throwing out the cat.

Don't throw out the cat. It keeps mice away, doesn't overheat, miss, backfire, stall and its feet don't normally get flat or need replacement. However, they are known to start leaking fluid when they get old, just like some of us old-timers.

that cat is a mass murderer! he spends much of his time in my pole barn hunting the things that wreck cars. EVERY day there are the remains of red squirls, rabits, gofers, moles on the front door step. mice are completely devoured, atleast 2 a day but no remains to count. he must go outside unless its below zero to hunt, and he is the boss. speaks english too. at night when leaving the shop i say "ready to go home?", he jumps up and says meow
