Default Does anyone have a Ford wrench collection

I have acquired over the years, many Ford wrenches and pliers.
I wanted to know if anyone else collects these tools.
I know this is a Pontiac site. I have a GTO.

Just wondering.
Thanks

I have a couple bent tire irons somewhere. I kinda destroyed them when I was 16 and mounting my first set of mags in the driveway.

About 30 years ago, I bought a large socket set and a couple of wrench sets that were GM Goodwrench. They were being sold by the local Sam's Club. I liked the socket set, it had long, short, 6-pt, 12-pt, in 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4" metric and SAE. To be honest, they were pretty good, I don't think I ever broke one. It was my traveling tools for junk yard outings. I finally merged then into my main tool box when the living hinges in the plastic case gave up.

I’d get ford wrenches but I’m afraid they’d all turn backwards?

I had a Ford tool just minutes ago. HAD. Looked for a picture of one like it, and found out these Ford branded magnets aren't even tools at all. They used several on the Model T.

They must break down a lot to come with exclusive tools

Default Ford tools

When I restored my Model A years ago I would go to swap meets to collect the entire set of tools. It had a leather pouch to hold them. They went with the car when I sold it.

How about a Ford Laboratory Test Set? No, not mine.

I have a buddy that’s into the hit miss engines he collects old tools like that also. He’s always bringing in some old tool he’s come up with.

I had a pretty complete set including a brass air pump for the clincher tires on my 1915 Model T. They went with the car when I sold it. I think I still have a 19/32 wrench for the connecting rod nuts.
