Every once in a while a few friends of mine will have a "Tool War". We start naming factory made tools we have that we think no one else has. Last man standing, wins. My winning tool is a Ridgid 4" pipe threader. What tool do you have that no one else has?

Is that what this is?
I have used it for cotter pins.
Had it for a long time. Bought it new at Sears in the mid 70s.
Edit:
It works good for oil seals too. Probably used it more that way than cotter pins.

Sorry Southern, I have that Greenlee set too. How about a Star lathe from Seneca machine works from 1902? In the process of restoring it...

I've got the snap over binders for chains in 5/16and 3/8 . Also got curved wrenches for the accessory drive mounted pieces on engines to get to the back bolts without hitting the next thing there. Injection pump or air compressor what ever is on the engine at the timing gears those are snap-on with the set from I believe 7/16-3/4 inch. Also some deep offset double box end wrenches from snap-on in metric. Probably a bunch of this stuff around with the serious wrench spinners on trucks. A set of 1 inch drive impact sockets in Wright brand from about 7/8-2inch maybe a bit bigger I would have to look for sure. With the air wrench to use them.

I have a twelve inch. Don't use it much but it is handy for some jobs.
