My buddy hasn't gone through much yet but I spotted these two while at their house yesterday and he told me I could have them. An old Mac long reach double open end wrench

Hey Zach, Those long thin wrenches are tappet wrenches. Made thin to adjust valves on old solid lifters on a running (inline) engine. You will not find them useful if you try using them on say, a rusty water pump bolt.
