A friend gave me a bunch of old automotive tools. I knew what most of them were but this one stumps me. Any ideas? I'd like to sell these tools on Craigslist. Engineman

How about sending the pics to sunnen.com and ask them? Art
Same trouble.

1) The site wants JavaScript to be enabled (just for a picture)? 2) Once it is enabled, it wants a site password which you supposedly gave us. :-)
Two strikes -- you're out.
Enjoy, DoN.
O.K. I don't recognize it - -but the Sunnen brand suggests that it is related to their bore honing machines -- perhaps for installing honeing stones in the hones?
Enjoy, DoN.

This link worked for me. The one posted a bit later is missing the last part: 2Q6aiGiQE
Could it be a valve lifter compressor?

No chance. They have curved jaws to hold the spring and washer.
Personally, I think it's one of those women's toe compressors which prep the foot, allowing them to get their toes into those pointyass shoes they like to wear.

Perhaps some kind of fence tensioner? Rob H. has lots of them...;>)}

It looks a lot like tools we used to use to compress springs on the rear shock absorbers of older motorcycles.

I think you're pretty close on that. Granddaddy had a pair of those in his garage when my sister cleaned it out. He was a mechanic. They were rusted up worse than that so they went for scrap and I didn't get a close look, one day they were there, the next time I looked, gone. Ignoring the Sunnen connection, I don't think they always built just honing equipment, how about clamps for assembling/dismantling leaf spring bundles? Don't know for sure, but the ones I saw had just about spacing enough to manage that.

To break the bead on a tire?
