Default Quick Bolts

I have a set of KR Wilson Quick bolts that I used in fitting the crank on my Model A engine. The set includes an extra bolt and a keeper with a handle that is bent to work on the front main of the Model A. Does anyone know what the value of a set like this should be. I am going to be selling off a number of my KR Wilson tools to help finance my car hobby. Any comments are appreciated.

I have a question regarding those, Ford instructions recommend a quick hand tighten to check clearance. You wont get an accurate clearance reading unless you torque to spec. If you do that the bottom of the bolt will crush and become difficult to remove from the block.
What is up with that? Am I missing something?

No, I think you are correct. I think where these really shined was when bearings were being scraped in by hand, -or when bearings were being burnished. In modern times, I suspect most of us are using a cordless impact to make the regular main bolts into 'quick bolts'.
