I aquired this Universal cylinder reboring tool does anyone have any experience with this tool?
I already have a boring bar and thinking about maybe selling it or just displaying it on the shelf for conversation piece.
It is a wonderful treat just to get to see the pictures of the tool, the box and the instructions.
Thanks for showing it regardless of what you end up doing with it.

By the time you got done boring a few engines with that hand winder you'd have arms big enough to go on the strongman circuit with the wrestlers and have ladies pay just to see your muscles.
That's neet. Wish it was mine...
Very nice! I guess if you cranked Fords all day that tool would be easy to use.

Hi Art,
Thats pretty darn neat that you can pull up the patent after all those years. I didn't know you could do that.
WOW, Bill, very interesting tool. I know there had to be millions of shop tools from the T era that were commonly used yet seldom seen today. I wonder how the accuracy was? Really interesting slice of T history. I would keep it in your collection if it were up to me.
Several sets have been sold on Ebay over the last few years, they bring good money too.
I would keep it if I were you.
