Snap On tools for Volkswagen

[diablosandwich]

I thought I would start a thread on Snap on tools for air cooled vw's. I have had some of these tools for over twenty years. These are well made tools that make a job a lot easier.

S5911 13/14mm manifold/obstruction wrench

S5922 13mm valve adjust wrench.

S5919 condenser install tool. For aluminum distributors from 60's. Drives condenser into bottom of distributor. No need for Muir's scout knife with one of these!

S5912 Brake adjuster

S5913 7/11mm brake bleeder wrench. This one is NOS with original sticker on it. I have a 7/11mm brake wrench made by KD that is a flared 11mm for soft brake lines that I like better than this one.

S5902 17/21mm Oil service wrench 21mm for engine oil drain plug and 17mm external for trans oil fill/drain plugs. A copy of the Hazet service wrench.

S5915 oil cooler 10mm wrench. Used to remove oil cooler with engine in car on non doghouse coolers. I have a similar Matra one.

S5914 Front engine seal installer. Threads into crankshaft and nut pushes installer in square. In original box.

I would like to see what other VW snap on tools are out there. Thanks, Casey

Anyone know if Snap-On made a tool for removing the oil filler on Type 1 engines? I tried googling but I couldn’t come up with anything. Would love to get a part# if it exists.

now i would sure like to have the 13/14 S wrench . but i do have this 13/14 . when i first met my wife 30 some years back she had this wrench in a Dodge Astro van . i quickly confiscated that wrench some how she is still here so all is well . it doesnt fit nearly as nice as the S wrench BUT it still gets the job done .... dont know if it was made for VW work . but i keep this wrench in the bug and HANDY !!!

fits like the rear carb nut , fits lots of things , takes quite a few resets but gets the job done .

now i just searched ebay for the 13/14 S wrench , it appears they can be had for 25 to 35 clams each , i never knew .

this one shows the off set 13MM angle best

I don't own any VW specific Snap-On tools, but I sold my Beetle to the retired CEO/President/ Chairman of Snap-on. Does that count????

[my3bugs]

im telling ya , just talking about that S wrench the other day made me go n buy one

it just arrived . so i run out to my bug and OH how sweet it fits getting to that back carb nut , the distributor clamp ect ....... im happy to have it .

This tool has a slotted screwdriver attached to the large knob, then takes a ½" drive socket.
This tool looks like it was specifically made to adjust the valves on a VW, but since it was made in 1954, it must have been for some other application.
