Put the pointy end in the rivet that holds the friction material to the brake shoe, put the spring in the hook, squeeze it and put it in the hole it goes in. It doesn't work very well. (I made a tool that works better I'll post pic tomorrow cuz it's at work.) The other end has a thing to remove the spring hook from the anchor near the wheel cyl. Put the anchor in the hole, pop the spring off by turning it. The other side has a indent in it. For installing the spring, put the indent on the anchor and use it as the fulcrum to pry the spring and it slides down onto it.

While we are on the subject does anyone know what this is? It came with a wire stripper I bought, it's some sort of attachment.
>>1157284
It is used to mark where to place your wires in order to get the same length everytime
>>1157288
Ah, ok...but I would still have no idea how to use it.
>>1157257
it's a piece of shit useless drum brake tool.
>>1157294
You fix one end to the side of the tool, and the other part should come square with the cable,giving you a visual indication on the striping lengh

This is a class 5 fedora tipper. It's used by the most supreme of gentleman and is a sign of ultimate respect towards defending a lady's honor. The tip is clamped firmly to the brim of the fedora and gently pulled down, then up again. This is usually accompanied with a sly grin and a slight bow at the waist. Women find this especially attractive and respond immediately by breaking up with their dick boyfriend usually named Chad or Brodie. This is a good find, keep this in your pocket at all time. You never know when you'll need to do the ultimate "tip".
I thought it's an industrial foreskin remover

Ah, OK...thanks.
>>1157257
That's a nipple pincher. It's for pinching nipples.
>>1157322
Where do I buy industrial foreskins? I want to make a wallet that, when I rub it, turns into a suitcase.

I think you have to gather them yourself. They are highly sought after.

WRONG!
I am an ASE recertified master tech and have never used that particular tool.
>>1157257
In our business, we call this tool The Eunuchator.
Who of you men can identify these stabby pliers?
>>1159039
What in the everloving fuck is that?
That's a prostate punch. Lot of fun, but be sure to coat it in plastic dip because they are supposed to be lined. And don't confuse it for a wanker yanker, they look similar except for the flat side and you could get in trouble if you use it like that.

Threads like these made me wish i still had my WWII cockpit survival took. It was basically a curved axe with a pickax on the back. Always threw people off.

It's easy, slap staples in a hurry, or spend on day driving one nail at a time. It isn't hard to see why the tool exist.

Holy shit, no way am I using nails to put down tar paper, or put up a moisture barrier.
You sir, can go fuck yourself.
