Right, #1 is a caster/Kingpin alignment tool for straight axles and #2 is for separating leafs in the springs to replace the rub blocks or add grease

Ok: First one should be an easy one. It's made by Zim. The second one is a bit harder, kinda a specialty tool for a specialty field, a hint: 'sparky.'

correctomundo on the first. Keep trying on the second. I used it when working on airplanes, but it is equally useful in the automotive shop. Made by a company called Desco.

Almost looks like some kind of deburring knife to me.
eBay thought it was household china plate

Re: Lets Play Whatz It? !!

Nope! It is a really tough one as it is a very special application tool. When you have a bunch of wires in a bundle and you need to insert another wire, instead of undoing the whole bundle, you use this to help thread the wire through. When adding wires through a firewall through a very small grommet, this tool really helps get those last few wires through. Just push the pointy end in the wire bundle and use the spoon to help snake the wires thru. Works like butta!

Wow! Guess we were over-thinking that one!
I'll bet I could find a hundred uses for it too (besides wiring)!
Neat tool. Thanks!
