Name that tool!
 

My old man gave me his toolbox and the majority of his tools, some of which I have NO idea what they are. As I sort through this stuff, I am going to probably need more help identifying some things. Check out the pic and let me know, I think I have a clue on some things, others I'm completely oblivious.

Shit... forgot to label the dial test indicator at the bottom right corner. That's what the contents list said in the box, but I have no clue what the fuck it's supposed to do.

a lot of these are automotive tools.
I is a seal puller,
the two marked H I believe are for flaring pipe, but I'm not 100% sure, I've got a few of them too though.
A is a tool to break nuts that are rusted stuck.
C is a valve lifter removal tool
F is some sort of jaw puller I've never seen before, but it resembles my 2 jaw gear puller, butbuilt better.
J is a valve adjustment tool I believe for cars.
L is a bolt threading tool to clean up damaged threads.
that dial indicator is for measuring runout on rotating items such as crankshafts, camshafts or anything hat has a round bearing journal and needs to be precisely accurate.
G is a piston ring groove cleaning tool
M is either a finger ratchet, or torque multiplier.


I need a better picture of B, D E, both labeled J K and the one to the rigt of it with blue handles, and A to be 100% certain on my determinations.

its obvious to me your old man worked on cars, and probably did some pretty in depth stuff, meaning he's likely got a bunch more foreign tools that you've not seen before.

dont be surprised if he gives you a bunch more old and unusual stuff. I or my good friend both have most of this kind of stuff, ALL of it between the two of us.

Agree with Bob, but I also think H can be used in combination with L to flare pipes such as fuel lines, brake lines, etc.

H looks too big for that, I was thinking it was a pulley tool. L is used for brake line in conjunction with a brake line flare tool (which is a much smaller version of H).

I also have one of K and have no clue what it is. i always thought that it was a specialty tool to spread something, but never figured it out

come to think of it, I have one of K too. its something if I remember right, thats used for springs. at least it looks like tht anyhow.

I is an axle seal puller.

K and L are expansion pliers.

H are brake line/pipe/fuel line flaring tools.

J (left) looks like a tap wrench. J (right, the other "J") looks like the magnetic base for a cam degree wheel.

G is a piston ring land cleaner.

L on the right (the other "L") if the inside of the holes are threaded, is a thread repair tool, if not, it is probably for line flaring as well (for use in conjunction with "H").

Since E hasn't been taken, I will. it is a brake spring removal tool for drum brakes. (Where they connect at the top of the shoes).

Also as previously stated, H and J are used together for flaring lines -brakes and on some vehicles the hardlines from the trans to the cooler (on the side of the radiator on automatics, not used on manuals).

K looks like a "holder" when you're tightening something. The male pins on it will go into females to say like a camshaft. You can insert the pins and rotate the cam.

"I" is a seal puller. You got the axle pulled out of the axle housing and you have a round seal there. Stick one of the fingers on the inside of the seal and push down. Pulls the seal out.
