The 2 auto adjusting wrenches I have are a Billings 9'' and the other one only has an H stamped in it and is 11'' long. Although the 9'' BILLINGS wrench is nicely marked, I see in the parts manual it calls for an 11'' wrench so does anybody know what brand the H stands for?

This summer I was lucky enough to find an IRWIN screwdriver.
I picked up an EAGLE oil can at the MVPA convention but seems sloppy in the oil can holder on the firewall of the jeep. It may not be the proper one or my reproduction oil can holder may be out? Anybody know the proper base measurement of jeep oil can so I can compare to mine?
I also found a ball peen hammer this summer at our favorite army surplus store. No makers mark on it. Was there a certain hammer brand issued with the WWII jeep?

I have 2 tire pumps. The first one I found was pretty rough and eventually found a better condition one that I bought a replacement hose kit for. The rough one has nice markings on the bottom,US QMC 305592 WALKER MFG. CO. 19 RACINE,WIS U.S.A while the nicer pump has US ORD and only a makers mark on it. Would this be post war production or still proper for WWII?

I have had in my collection a 1945 dated jeep tool roll that came in handy when I started to put together this tool kit. A little greasy but ads character!
I don't know if there were very many different variations of horsecocks for the WWII jeep. This is a nice condition one I found and hope it will be proper for the jeep tool kit?
I also found reproduction Maintenance and Parts list manuals for display.

Some reproduction tools I bought to add to the tool kit are the Wrench-fluted socket head screw, Wrench-hydraulic brake bleeder screw, Wrench-drain plug and the Puller-wheel hub.

I lucked out last summer stopping at a roadside antique yard and in one of the semi trailers was a pile of tire chains. I picked out a couple matching chains that looked like they would fit the jeep and when I got home, they went on perfectly! I now need to find a reproduction tire chain bag to display with the chains once my tool kit is complete.
