    I finally finished cleaning out a large tool collection I bought awhile back and I have no idea what these three tools are.

    First is a collection of plastic parts with what look like axle splines on them? One says Honda on it, some have numbers and some don't.

    Second is two strange aluminum blocks with holes and a strange round peice at the end that doesn't turn?

    Last looks like some sort of crimping tool maybe?

    Thanks for the help!

    Plastic parts are clutch aligment tools for various makes and models.

    Yeah, its for knocking out the slots on upper control arms so you can align the truck.

    The clutch tools were part of a shop package sold by snap-on dealers.... should have a board to hang them on and a guide to tell u what they fit....the black ones a domestic and the blue are import, or vice versa.........if you had a car that these wouldn't fit, you didn't need it anyway.

    Some clutch kits come with an alignment tool in the box with the kit so some of those may have been collected that way. They aren't very valuable unless you need one and don't have one.
    On the ac pieces, I'd take them apart an put the aluminum in my s**** bin, it adds up after a while.

    I probably could have used that knockout tool or one like it when I was doing alignments daily and had a fight on my hands with some of those trucks. There is a way around almost everything but sometimes there is a lot easier way.

    Reason the plug tool was needed.Gm copied chyrslers front end design and was taken to court.Gm had to alter the design with a plug ,looked something like a brake baking plate plug.
