Tire iron

Not so many years ago, (or so it seems), most all cars had a tire tool that had the nut wrench on one end and a hub-cap pry bar on the other. There were millions of them around. So where did they all go? I've sorta been looking for one and no one has one laying around. I used to keep one in the bed of my old pick-up, sure was handy. And for that matter, screw/bottle jacks seem to be ancient history as well. Just wondering,,,,, gm
 

Well six of them are in my shed at this moment :)
I find them really useful for a number of things , one has a socket of a different size on each of its four arms , I keep that one in the trailer tool box .
I have cut up a few to make pins , rollers and other bits before , the steel they are made of is really tough .
 
Gary,

Almost every junkyard I've visited recently removes jacks and tire irons before putting the junker out in the yard.

I saw an entire box 4 foot in each direction, full of tire irons, but I could not buy one of hem.

Pretty sure I have at least two laying on the bench where the rest of my tire tools are. I've taken many a tire off the rim with them back in the day.
 
I have a good many of them laying around the place. Both my cars have one laying right next to the drives door plus I have a number of them laying around in my shop
 
Not long ago, there were many people scrounging just about anything for the scrappers.

I have 1952 chevy pu that requires the use of both jack and iron. Both are stored under the seat.

You may think it wasn't so long ago, but it's been about 40 years since cars have come with bumper jacks.

Last car I can remember having one of those was the 1976 Ford LTD. Those "tire irons" also served as the handles for the jacks.
