80% clueless. He thinks these tools will be useful on his model A :lol: :lol: :lol:
Lotta very nice T tools.

These types of videos are about getting looks, not informative content.
Do your homework BEFORE making the video.

What caught my eye, was the bearing scraper with a protective leather cover.
The previous owner was a true mechanic.

Yes he is clueless. That wire wheel hub puller is a find. Along with the bendix end puller. Glad I have them.
I watched to see if any Stevens tools showed up . Dan

It’s not surprising to me that someone with a bit of A knowledge is easily lost concerning the T. I had an uncle that grew up through the 30’s as a mechanic and never drove a T. Said he never rode in one either. Kind of hard to believe when he first told me this but I suppose the country moved on pretty quickly in those days.
Forget everything you thought you knew.

I sent him a message I could Identify most of the tools and that they were model T a couple weeks back.
He didn't reply to that message but did on another about the A.

I live about 40 miles from his location and I told him I would stop by, but he didn't respond.

This is why AI search is problematic. People have this odd belief that AI = truth.
All AI does is create summaries based on lightening fast search algorithms across all found content. Anything posted on the internet relative to that subject is a potential quotable source, regardless if erroneous, slanted, ignorant, biased etc, as in the case of this video.
We in the field had a saying, GIGO (Garbage in, garbage out) The problem though is nobody has critical thinking skills anymore, and hang their hat on the perceived veracity of AI.
Call me anything you want...just so long as it isn't "late for dinner"
