Today I was troubleshooting my engine problem and removed the plugs for a look see. I was thinking to myself how good it felt to use an original ford wrench and wondered the amount of work it had done in its lifetime. Sure felt better than a craftsman. !!

William, the plug spanner is a good one to use. Some are not.
The T 2333 camshaft nut toll is almost useless, because the offset in the handle pulls the jaws off the nut, deforming it at the same time.
I usually go modern in tools, but when time is of no consequence, it is nice to see what can be done using the original kit.

I would agree with Allan. Some of the original tools are excellent and some are not. For me the excellent group would include the band adjusting ratchet and the screw jack. In the you-can-do-better category are the clutch drum puller and the Ford tire irons.

One original tool I finally broke down and bought was the driven gear puller. Once I got it, it worked so well and was so nice that I bought another just in case something happened to it. Both are ford script and look as though they have never been used.

I think the only good thing about the ford screw jack is it will never leak oil.

Ditto on the plug wrench.
I always use it instead on a modern wrench. I like the way it fits down in the plug recess.
