I have one ! I recently tossed my Chevy Vega rear brake spring KD tool. Bought it in 1972 used once.How about the old "Carbon" pile battery tester?
Another thing people should use, is the booklet that says "directions", or "owners manual".View attachment 1716058835Here’s another one some people don’t use and some shouldn’t.
Don't have the tools, but did have a Crank ground .040 under in my old chevey truck. 1952 farm truck, made into a race car hauler. 235 cid splash oiler 6 cyl. Bought the rods from a auto parts store (they were in stock). Wow, talk about dating myself.Well what I don't have is the distributor machine, split rims tools, and anything to do babbit bearings. Having the knowlage and tools to babbit would be useful for some of the things I get into. When I was doing a tractor overhaul one of the rod bearings was starting to flake. The shops are hard to find, they wanted 160 dollars per rod and they were six months behind. Special work need special tools and skills.

A tool I used for setting up dual point distributors back when. Sun made some good s#it !Sun Distributor machine too.
I was doing fine till they got silly.
No one but a very few have a distributor machine or a full blown engine analyzer.
Babbitt bearings I don't even know what it is.
And sit rims come on.
You can still use it for the RPM feature.I have an old Dwell meter from the early 70s that my dad left in the garage for me but I've never used it nor do I plan on it. Everything I have goes to electronic ignition
Plus a dynamometer lolLOL…I have both.
In construction framing, air tools are still popular.I've got air tools that I rarely use anymore, plus a distributer hold down wrench.
Had a old drive on AMMCO rack that sat in the corner because of no place to set it up.Kid next door took it to the scrap yard.alignment rack
