FIAT shower drain covers, Renault Wrench, Craftsman right angle flat tip screw driver & Snap-on ignition wrench (before & after)

Had to hammer them flat (these were somewhat bent/deformed) first before cleaning them...

The logo looks exactly the same as the car logo.  I couldn't find the history of the plumbing company with the same name as the car company.  The closest thing I found was a reference indicating that the FIAT plumbing company has a history going back almost a hundred years.  I'm guessing that it started out as part of the same company in Italy in the early 20th century but got separated at some point in time.  The FIAT plumbing company still exists as a brand (as a small piece of a large conglomerate company, based in Japan...).



It's rare to need to use one of these but when the need arises, these are lifesavers...
