Question needs an answer.

The commercially available Schrader valve cores kits, come supplied in little red tins, complete with a tiny tool to remove/install valve cores.

Sooooo... Was this little tool also included in the MB and GPW Schrader spares packs. :?: :roll:
Anyone who has opened a pack of GPW valve cores will know.

John, have you ever opened a GPW valve core packet or is that just a logical reply.

When Chuck Lutz was enquiring about these kits he made the error of thinking the little tool was packed in with the CAPS. It was commercially included with the CORES, NOT the CAPS.
So, untill I hear from someone who has actually opened a sealed tin or envelope, I'll keep an open mind.

Can anyone say for certain, those little tools were NOT put into the commercially distributed Schrader tins until the post war era.

Back in town ! Well Kevin, all I can tell you is that the cap packages do not have a tool in it, which is hardly surprising.
I do not know if all the valve core packages had the tool. The ones I have don't. Possibly the tool was needed on tubes whose valve was fitted with a cap without the forked tip.
There is a great expert in Maine that might give you the answer.
I do agree with you on Jeep valve caps being of one kind only. :wink:

By the way, Kevin, have you an idea of what ^&%$#@!!!!!! might mean?

Hi Luca, back in the driving seat :wink:

Well, I'm "fixated" over the GPW CORES packs because they were SEALED
unlike the Willys tins which while being passed from one owner to another can have the contents messed with. So where's the guy who will speak up and admit he's done a virgin pack of GPW cores. :evil:

I read it on page two of this thread http://www.g503.com/forums/viewtopic.ph ... c&start=15

It might be a secret code, or , since it is at the bottom of the post, it might be the guy's new nickname...
Whatever.

As for the Willys tins, I agree that the not sealed specimens might not be representative of their original content.
Prem did open some sealed tins, so he might shed some light. Most likely Willys bought what was commonly available on the civilian market, and if the Schrader boxes included the "tool", then so be it.
Ford did pack their own envelopes, so they did not include a tool that is not necessary with the kind of valves they supplied.

Kevin, dumb question, did Ford pack Schrader bits into their envelopes, or are there Ford branded caps/cores out there? I remember seeing a photo of an open set of each, and can't find it as of yesterday's search.

Hi Luke, Ford used Schrader caps and cores. Who packed them? I dont know.
I suspect Ford would have a contract with Schrader to pack & supply in those little ford envelopes.
I don't think Ford would be bothered to have caps and cores supplied loose
and use their valuable time to individually repack them.

While searching this VERY old thread for valve core/caps info, I noticed the question, above, that does not seem to have been answered.
Well, I stumbled upon the answer, in TM9 - 811 (DT969), p.95, 25/Jan/1944

See pictures below.
