KD Tools
 

I have some tools that my Dad had when he was a mechanic. He retired circa 1980. He later passed on. Anyway, several of the tools are of the "mystery" type.

One tool appears to be some type of pliers. It is stamped KD #435. I've checked all over with Google for KD, but all I find are distributors and cannot find anything even close.

Does anyone know of a source for KD info?

Napa and any other real parts store would carry the K-D line. You'll find that most of what K-D makes is special application or specific use tools. You might try thumbing through a Napa catalog (online?) for info.

Try this one. They have illustrations or pictures that might help.

The Ram-o-Matic grease zerk tool is exactly what I suggested to a guy in another thread that had kingpins that wouldn't take grease. They work killer.

I have a lot of K-d tools now Freebie,freebie,zip,zero ,nada.

I think that's a cv-joint boot clamp tool for big trucks and 4X4's.

Or a manly man tongue piercing jig.

K-D Tools is part of -Danaher Tool Group-. Their website sucks, but it appears that tool no. has been discontinued. You might want to E-Mail them and inquire as to it's application. Someone is probabaly needing one now...

Thanks Kutulz.

Yeah, it could be worth a fortune to the right person at the right time. :pain: :D

that looks like somthing that your wife would use to "grab hold" of you if she caught your eyes wandering to much.:pain: :pain: :boxing:

I'm afraid that would leave a mark with those pointed tongs!

FYI, I've spent about 3-4 hours today scanning the Snap-On site for some of the other tools. Most have apparently been discontinued. I did find an updated model of one of them, a clutch alignment tool...that currently sells for $455!!

I may start a "Can You Name That Tool" thread. Some of these things are really bizarre.

This is an interior door handle removing tool for 1956 Chrysler Corp cars (and no doubt for several other years, I'm sure).
