Pishta is CORRECT!!!!!!!!!! You win the major award:Fred, I totally know what these are....
Spoons for paintless dent removal.
@trebling Those are hole transfer punches. you line up a drilled panel to a non drilled panel and put these in your hole and then tap them, makes a center for your drill on the non drilled panel so the hole will line up.
You want to see some funky tools, look at the specialty tools for a Mitsubishi motor. all kinds of strange stops, wrenches, clamps, jigs...so many that it seems they are terrible engineers or there are so many seperately designed modular parts that need to fit together that they had to invent ways to fasten them together.
I had something like this rolling around in the bottom of a tool box for ever, never used it, didnt really know what it was for, turned out to be proprietary for my very first car 36 years ago

Transfer punches..i use them a lot.Not sure if you would call this an "automotive" tool but I've used them hundreds of times building cars, fixing engines and working on the car body. I know that my friends who have never seen them are amazed when I whoop them out and show how they help in a difficult situation:

So I'm right and wrong. LOLYes and no.....they are actually "transfer punches". When you have a hole in a bracket or piece of metal (or wood) and you need to accurately locate the hole in the metal that the bracket will be installed onto you use these punches to transfer the hole from the bracket to the other piece of metal. So you hold the piece that has the hole against another piece of metal then you use the correct size transfer punch to punch a mark where you will drill the new hole. That's why they come in every size so that they fit snug in the hole and transfer the location accurately. These punches "transfer" the hole location to another piece of metal very accurately. If you've ever tried to hold a heavy piece of metal against another to locate the new hole you can see how they make the job a lot easier. I've used them transferring hole locations on body panels, custom brackets, installing custom heater brackets under the dash and for numerous other things that require a hole that has to be specifically placed with reference to another part. They used to be expensive but now you can get them cheap at HF!!
I don't know........if you were working on a car and asked your helper for a center punch what do you think you would get in your hand????? No major award for you...Sorry!!So I'm right and wrong. LOL
Knowing kids these days? Probably a bloody nose. LOLI don't know........if you were working on a car and asked your helper for a center punch what do you think you would get in your hand????? No major award for you...Sorry!!
Don't feel too bad, I was also going to write that those were paintless dent repair tools but they looked a little different that what I remember????No reward for post 18 either. Beginning to think this game is rigged.
TRUE!!!!Knowing kids these days? Probably a bloody nose. LOL
That looks familiar......need pics from different angles???

Correct .....but you're a day late and a dollar short!!Transfer punches.
Sure could work for that. Not its specific job though.plastic plug remover?
Those old tools look so cool but I have no idea what they are used for....just not old enough yet.Here's one that stumped me a few years ago at Hershey. Early ford tool is the hint.
I know what that is. I'll leave the suspense for others though.
That's not fair!!! Everyone that knows is DEAD!!!I know what that is. I'll leave the suspense for others though.
