I'm almost embarrased by the number of specialty tools I have; ok, not really embarrased. It's more of an addiction that I'm not seeking help for.

I inherited this tool, and I'm not sure what it is. Any thoughts? My closest guess is flathead valvespring lifter. Sorry for the blurry photo.

It reminds me of a spring compressor used for those squirrely springs in door hinges....

Favorite odd "tool" is strips of 1/4" Masonite used for doing block-sanding. They follow the curves on sheetmetal unlike a solid block, but don't follow the dips and bumps like rubber.

There are some 18" x 2" strips I've had for years, some with various radii cut into the edges for doing particular lines. Nice to have a tool that cost ten cents and five minutes to make, and then you use it that much and have it that long.

I also have a couple of cobbled-together oil pump primer tools. Sometimes it takes less time to make a new one than it does to find out where the h*ll you put the one you had.

here's an old whutizit....I have this in my tool box, and have used it quite a few times.

Re: What unusual tools are in your box?

Just a guess, but is that for pulling connecting rods up around crank journals?

(edit)...if so, I want one!
