Default Interesting valve tool kit... ever seen one like this?

Any of you guys ever seen a kit like this? It was made in 1937 by a company in Illinois.

This thing takes all the struggles away from removing stuck valve assemblies.

The only reason I can think of that more are not around these days is the original cost was a huge $47.50 back then!

See them all the time on e-bay. Most have hardly been used. A very expensive solution in it's time. There are much cheaper and equal tools available from the era. It uses hydraulics for it's power.

Yup, I also have one! It takes a little practice but once you get the idea, no stuck valve has a chance!
