Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2012: Tools??
Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By George Button III (Chip), Lake Clear, NY on Monday, May 21, 2012 - 11:44 pm:

I may have found a large stash of tools. They are said to be for Model T's. The gentleman that has them used to have a bunch of T's and now has what is said to be one of the largest collections of un-restored Packards in the country and maybe the world. He told me some of the tools don't have "Ford" script on then, but still Model T tools. Did all T tools have Ford script on them??....Chip
PS--Does anyone in the Northeast know of anyone that builds those mud and bottle houses? There are hundreds of bottles on top of and around the tools!!

Thanks. I am going over tomorrow and will try to get some pictures. He says there are creates of screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, jacks and all kinds of engine repair tools. He has collected T and Packard stuff all his life!

Chip, here's a lonnnngggg thread from last year, all about Ford tools, with lots of pictures. It's a lot to digest, but pay special attention to the Model T screwdriver so you'll know it if you see it. I gather it's a pretty scarce item. I have dozens of band wrenches and a lot of plug wrenches, but I've never seen a T screwdriver in person.

Chip,

Tools are fascinating in themselves. Get a copy of the cyclopedia, there is a fairly good listing of Z number tools and what they were used for. T series tools are found by browsing parts manuals.

For every T series tool with script you will be able to find one with identical features, same foundry mark, but no script. Non script have mostly held as being aftermarket, like Western Auto...but my view is sometimes kits also held non script. Surpringly, some show up stamped With the English ford name on them. I've never quite figured out how so many swam across the pond...but apparently they did.

There is a tool collector website, but offhand I forget the name.
