Title: $15.00 Oldsmobile toolbox
Post by: coolmercury on May 19, 2019, 03:18:38 PM

Bought this toolbox at auction yesterday and contents shown.  Two USA ridge reamers one is Lisle, Craftsman piston groove cleaner, two hones and assorted stuff.  No I didn't steel it, I let is pass on choice two times until I noticed the trademark and name.  Can anyone tell me about the toolbox??

nice find! -- those ring groove scrapers/cleaners can often be dangerous in the wrong hands.

I agree, used one on a 36 Dodge when I was 16 and was rough on a couple of pistons.  I seem to remember getting the pistons bead shot to expand them??

The ridge reamer on the right may be a snappy or blue point. ;D if so I need some measurements ;D
