Glazer (window repair/assembler) tool......for setting screen and window gaskets ?

[GM_Guy]

a body spoon of some kind??
or, a spatula for applying body filler

or.... one heckuva tongue depresser :)

[84fiero123]

I wonder if I should say?

I really know what it is but I kind of like some of the answers so far.

Besides the only tool I have a picture of is of a specialty tool that I made.

Ah hell it’s a window repairers tool for auto glass, we used it at the factory to move the rubber reveal around when it was misaligned.

So now can anyone guess this one?

I made it specially for a job on the farm, but have found it so handy I started making all of the ones in my tool box like this one.

I figured you would know. Its from out of the GM plant

[Cableguy]

Mine is a wish bone. For removing various trim and body parts.

[84fiero123]

What no guesses?

Ok

I thought it would come to this. I have a lot of mill cloth we use on the farm for flooring in out buildings. It’s old paper machine belts, 24’ wide by I have no idea how long. I guess it depends on the machine it came off.

We get the stuff for free when they change the belts. Problem is trying to move the stuff around. So I made this tool. Welded, obviously, a 2” ring on the adjusting screw of a good pair of vise grips.

The ring fits right over the 2” ball of my trailer hitch. Just clamp it to the mill cloth and put the ring over the hitch ball.

I can drag a whole roll around any where I need it and then cut the cloth to the size I need.

Thing is I found after that you can now tighten the vise grip up even tighter after you have clamped it on what ever. It is great, you can even get a large screwdriver and really reef on the thing and get it so tight you can crush things with it.

I like it so much I now have three different pair of vise grips with the ring welded on the screw.

Uh for servicing brakes. I like that. I've never seen that in stores. Where ya get one?

[TrailLeadr]

looks like a ball joint tool.
Too small to be a caliper tool.

Also looks like the harbor freight unit.:great:

[GM_Guy]

it's a 3 in 1 service kit, model 38335 :biggrin:

seriously, looks like a seal or bearing installer

[TrailLeadr]

I'm going to have to insist that my guess is correct, although I could be wrong, this link looks an awful lot like it....lol
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=38335

Of course the part number kind of seals the guess.:biggrin:

Dam I thought so, but with my knowledge of automotive tools I think it is unfair for me to guess automotive tools.

Me I just cut the pin off the top of the ball joint and use a BFH, with a jackstand under the joint.

Sad as it seems, I do too. We're kickin' it old school! :great:

[TrailLeadr]

Oh....good. I don't feel so bad. That's how I do it. I figure if I'm removing it, then it's bad, and I don't care what it looks like after it comes out.

[84fiero123]

Old school rules.

Sorry when I don’t have the proper tool I improvise.

Oh....good. I don't feel so bad. That's how I do it. I figure if I'm removing it, then it's bad, and I don't care what it looks like after it comes out.

I guess being old we just can’t learn new tricks.

When I have the right tool on hand, or can borrow it. I use it, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.

[collinsperformance]

ok, here is the tool of the day, one i use alot and will not be without it.

here is a side top view.

happy guessing.....mike

[GM_Guy]

tapered grease fitting??

or is it a muffler bearing greasing tool????

[collinsperformance]

nope and nope...i hold off with the answer for a bit since it is still early...mike

[xtremelumina92]

Wow, i actually have no friggin clue! Zyrc fitting and tapered, but what the hell?

[collinsperformance]

wow - i thought i grabbed the easy one. it is still early so i hold off to this afternoon for the answer.

Hint: if you have an automatic this tool is not needed...........mike

[xtremelumina92]

it is for the intermediate shaft? or the cables?

[collinsperformance]

nope it is used farther forward.
the job can be done without this tool but this tool saves alot of greaf and cussing and some mess........mike

[GM_Guy]

throwout bearing grease tool??

[collinsperformance]

general location but not correct tool name. this tool is a pilot bushing remover tool. you screw it into the pilot bushing (Left hand thread) when it is tight you use the grease gun and the bushing pushes right out. i thought i had a picture but i do not sorry.....mike

[XP100]

It is used to gently lift reveal mouldings around front and rear windows to allow a metal tool to be inserted to unclip the reveal moulding clips on older cars and trucks

[collinsperformance]

i do not see the picture but is it call a wedge? i got a few plastic ones that allow me to do this and ope the window weather stripping to unlock the doors....mike

[Crawdaddy]

have fun with this one........

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a325/crawdaddy444/unknown_tool.jpg

muahahaha

[Flatman]

backscratcher?

[GM_Guy]

body dolly,or spoon for use in tight places?

[Crawdaddy]

nope, but Flatman, it would work as a backscratcher pretty well...

[Crawdaddy]

time for a hint I guess....it's a knife, but what type of knife is it. It doesn't have anything to do with vehicles :)

[GM_Guy]

it's a doohickey!!!!

[95CTburb19]

its some kind of an dentist tool. Its been used on my before

[TrailLeadr]

its some kind of an dentist tool. Its been used on my before

OUCH!!:frown:

lol

[Crawdaddy]

that's incorrect....those tools are aaprox 18 inches long and probably about 1/4" thick. I think I successfully stumped the crew here as to what it is...

[Crawdaddy]

I never did get around to telling ya'll what the tool was. Those a pipe organ tunining knives. You use those to knock the adjustable sleeve up and down the top of the pipe to change it's effective length, which changes the tone. They are pretty hefty, and are defeinitely a specialty tool.

[Hookjr1199]

I have about 10 of those window things sitting in a drawer at the nuclear power plant I work at.

You know, that's not a comforting feeling. :-)

[PepboysASETech]

I got one for you.
This one will work but there are other tools you can use that are SOOOO much easyer to use but this is the tool i started using when i started.


http://images.solidcactus.com/autobarn/cta1455c.jpg

[PepboysASETech]

Ok this is an easy one. But it is an AMAZING tool. Everyone should own one even if your not a mechanic.

http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/ToolPants/hose_clamps.jpg

[GM_Guy]

is it a clamping tool of some sort?

[84fiero123]

I got one for you.

Brake caliper piston tool. To reset the piston on rear disc brakes.

[84fiero123]

Ok this is an easy one. But it is an AMAZING tool. Everyone should own one even if your not a mechanic.

http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/ToolPants/hose_clamps.jpg

I had to look at that twice. Isn’t that a gas line spring in the tool. If so then it’s a remote gasoline spring compressing tool.

[PepboysASETech]

http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v45/ToolPants/hose_clamps.jpg

Really it works for any compression type clamp. Its GREAT for radiator hoses that are hard to get to. And awesome for heater hoses too.


And yes the "cube" is for reseting "ratchet" style rear brake calipers that have the internal parking brakes. Good job.
