Those are edge clamps. They can come in handy. The are used to hold a piece on the edge of something. Like this pic:

My dad has a bunch of them. I can safely say the only time I used one was to secure a vacuum cleaner hose to the workbench for a ghetto dust collector.

Clean up the markings to ID; but those are worth hanging onto. Much beefier that most I see, heck, most I see, are stamped sheet metal! :lol:

I believe these edge clamps are used mainly in woodworking, with a wooden caul between them and the work - that is how I use them anyway, in both making and repairing things. There are other ways to clamp something on the edge but these are handy, especially when you cannot put a long clamp all the way across the work or want to fix a door without removing it.

well i went and picked up my goodies the 3-way clamps are not ponys they are B&C i am assuming brink&cotton and they are 3in u can see how nice the one on the right cleaned up, the 2 silverish ones a Brink&cotton 3in, the red ones a pony, the small white one is a chicago the two long c are stamped 53 and the heavy one only has a H marking stamped on it.
the craftsman drill is a 3/8 and the key is with it and works perfectly but is not a variable speed as far as the drill box i cannot find a name on it i don't know if its a craftsman or not but the clevis is worth what i paid for the drill i gave $15.95 for all of it with my buyer premium paying cash

What's the bolt on the heavy one do? Anything? Or is it maybe an early hanger for clamping on a structural beam, and the bolt is for a pipe hanging strap of some sort?

to be honest with you i have absolutely no clue why that bolt is in that heavy clamp it has nothing to do with the clamp i looked that clamp over pretty good and it puzzled me i was hoping someone had a clue :dunno:
