Re: Special tool J-5981?????? For window handles?

Thanks for clearing up that mystery for me, JW.

I remember my dad mentioning, decades ago, that the other end was for wire clips, but that message was lost on me. The only wire clips I'd seen were on handles from GM cars, and the only Packard that I've owned and worked on were 55-56.

Since my dad worked in a Packard dealership as a mechanic - on and off - for about ten years, it makes sense that he would have such a tool. Now that we finally have his old tool box home, I plan on going through it with him, this winter, and tagging any special tools. I'll be sure post news and pix of any good Packard finds.
