ABSTRACT:
Air brake adjustment and measurement tools where the adjustment tool includes a long handle portion having a gripper assembly attached to one end and a socket wrench drive attached to the other end. The gripper assembly has a pair of facing jaw members adapted to engage opposing edges of a vehicle's air brake slack adjustment. The measuring tool includes a scale, and a permanent magnet attached to one end of the scale. In use, the measuring tool is placed next to the clevis rod of the vehicle's air brake assembly, and the adjustment tool is used to move the air brake slack adjustment between a braking and a non-braking position. The stroke of the clevis rod is measured by the measuring tool, and is adjusted by a socket wrench attached to a socket drive of the adjustment tool.
