@lp2k is that a torque wrench or just a socket? In either case, very nice!

Hey it’s a collapsable breaker bar believe it or not. 1/2 in drive or 12.7mm

There may be a torque wrench from Toyota but that’s extremely rare . Dan can chime in

I've never seen an actual Toyota branded torque wrench, not even as an SST. Early Toyota tool catalogs don't list them, and a brief search of Toyota Parts Deal and Megazip didn't turn up anything modern. Torque wrench adapters are available from Toyota, but I don't think an actual torque wrench exists. Would be happy to be proven wrong, because I'd like to add it to the bag! Other brands, like the one in the ebay link (not mine, just an example), have Toyota stamps on them and must be used for very specific applications.

Regarding the breaker bar above, or "spinner handle" as Toyota calls it, it's been around since the early 70s. The design went virtually unchanged through the 90s. It is 300 mm long as shown above, and the handle extends it to a length of 380mm. Awesome, rugged tool!

There is this one listed in "recommended tools"

And is actually available on the classic parts vendors.

Only questions I had seeing this are, is-it branded Toyota? And how small is-it?



Oh well...

It's small, really small x)

And not branded Toyota x)

At least it's cute.

Now I'm wondering which bolts will I find to tighten with it.


And now I know which brand of torque wrench to buy one to be faithful to the original providers of Toyota

Probably not much. But, perfect for measuring preload on pinion bearings in your diffs.

Is that a 3/8" x 1/2" adapter or a 1/4" x 3/8" adapter?

1/4" to 3/8" !
I guess because Toyota is not offering 1/4" sockets so you would have to use their 3/8".

From the "I just couldn't resist it" files. Same color scheme as the old Toyota Motorsports/Racing/TRD merch. Fun stuff.

Love the retro look.

Here's a spanner with the a TEQ logo enclosed in a small circle, similar to the very early KTC Toyota wrenches. It's unlike any I've seen. No KTC markings of any kind on the front, just the sizes and TEQ logo. Nothing on the reverse. Origin unknown.

 

[dmamj]

No retail tags or markings on the these. I suspect they may have been made available for service center technicians in Japan. Vintage is unknown.

This cool little 1973 calendar/notebook has plenty of blank pages for notes, contains conversion tables, and a ton of other info in really tiny Japanese text that I haven’t translated.

And one from 1977. I imagine after much outrage and controversy at the previous version, the tip of the pencil was upgraded to an eraser .
