desoto1939 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 Yes I have been acquiring a nice set of the old factory tools. I figure these are items that will last and I know I can not lose my investment on them. I have these tools and will lend them to who ever needs them but always need a deposit to insure that I get them returned. If you figure how many dealerships had these tools and when the dealers went out of business Chrysler Corp would not buy back the parts or tolls, so alot of the item went tot he scrap yar since they could at least get some money for them based on the weight of the tools. It is ashame to think that so many tools have become scrap. So I keep on looking for the older tools so I can work on my car or if I have to have a mechanic do the work at least I can give him the proper tool to do the job.

woodie49 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Rich, I have seen a number of posts from you about the old tools you have that were made for working on our cars. I think finding and keeping these is totally cool. I don't know how you come accross them, but I sure admire your diligence. A few weeks ago, I bought a sisson choke tester. Yours is a lot nicer, but I couldn't resist. Not something you get a lot of use out of, but a neat shop accessory. Quote

Woodie, I do alot of seaching and also by having several of the Miller Tool catalogs from various years I can then search for specific tools. Its like trying to find the needle inthe haystack at times or trying to find that one part for your old car that is so hardto find. I like to collect the tools that are not too large and that do not take up a lot of room. The tools that I have found are all very interesting. I which they could talk to tell us how they were used and where they came from, which dealership. The sisson tester is really cool. Now that I have one I test all of the sisson chokes with it. After getting the sisson choke manaul then I was able to know eactly what the tool looked like and also the small tool set. Rich Hartung Rich Quote

austinsailor Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 There are tons of Miller tools on EBay, the problem is the sellers seldom know what they are used for. There are probably some of use on our old stuff at any given time, but unless you know them and what they are used for it does little good. I've bought a few after someone gave a heads up that they were there, such as the recent steering wheel puller for our trucks that was mentioned here. Feel free to post links when you see one and know what it is, one of us may jump on it! Gene Gruender Quote
