What was in a Model A tool kit?






I think that box, in all it's wear and tear, is bitchin. How many could have possibly survived the nearly eighty years since it was printed?







A fan belt, a distributor cap, a crank handle... that doubles as a lug nut wrench, a couple wrenches, a pair of pliers and a crescent wrench that have been replaced or weren't original to the tool kit, a three way socket wrench... very innovative and cool.. a hammer and a jack with handle. Plus two cool little things, a lock for the spare tire, and a screw on wheel puller to break the rim loose from the axle.

Marshalls, a tool and hardware store I came across, and it's loaded with everything!

Relatively unknown, but cool place to get some tools and garage stuff!

This is and example of the bins of tools they acquired from buying up going out of business companies... they also bring a truck to Kobeys swap meet occasionally.
The above tool / shelving cabinet is for ESD stuff like circuit cards

Everyone should have a couple in the garage ( http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/million-dollar-cars-need-smarter-owners.html ) a fire extinguisher or two would have saved that Bugatti
Good to know where to find these for sale!

Here is where it leaves the tools and garage stuff, but I've used sig gens, power supplies, oscopes and all that production test equipment, so maybe some of you have too, and want to know where to get some at second hand prices.

Industrial collapsible bins

Solder inspection gear, etc etc

Torque drivers ... and that's just a quick look at some of the stuff they sell at http://www.wesource.com/ in San Diego, off Miramar Rd.
For the full list, check their website.
