    what is it ?

    Have a new what is it. Came in a box of 1/2 sockets from an estate sale. Previous owner was supposedly a heavy duty mechanic. It is two sided, fits a half inch socket on either side. Thinking it might be for removing a bung of some sort.

    what is it ?

    I collect Snapon tools, but all the fillers are Gray (they are very good as well). They are typically sold to industry and not really retail anywhere I am aware of.

    what is it ?

    Yes, mine are in Canada (Gray Tools is a Canadian manufacturer) Thanks a lot. I have a vintage Mercedes that I believe has hose clamps like Old Man Roger posted. Maybe they will have some further service.

    I am having the floors refinished in a 1890's church conversion to our vacation home. The best guy for the job is 76 and he was showing me one of his floor sanders. It's a Porter Cable that he inherited from his father and he got it from his father. He can't find parts for it but he's kept it...

    The aluminum end unscrews from the handle, and it is very light aluminum, you wouldn't be able to put much pressure on the notch. So I don't think you can pry with it. It's more like a locating slot.

    Help Identify

    Hello I have come across a couple of these in my workshop and I can not identify them. I don't know if they are a tool or a part of a tool. Or maybe not even tool related. Anyhow, the black part is like bakelite, which has a brass insert and the light coloured aluminum threads in. The aluminum...

    Canadian Tire Maximun Extra-Long Double Box-End Flex Wrench

    I am happy with my 30 year old 100 pc Mastercraft socket set. Plus any old Mastercraft wrenches you find at auctions or yardsales. But I am sure about 10 years ago the CT buyer met the buyer from Harbor Freight at a trade show and they went out on on a real tear. And they had a ton of fun...

    What is this piece - Walter Enduro Flex

    Thanks ericg - I searched online and came up empty. That's it exactly. Now I'll look on youtube to see how it works.

    Here is another tool I don't know what it is for.

    BTW - reposted And the consensus was: that SICRA is one of the world's largest maker of paper money. And with the different colour finger prints on the piece it is likely a specialty can opener for ink.

    What is this piece - Walter Enduro Flex

    Came across this piece in a toolbox I bought at auction. It has the Walter abrasives logo on it. And Enduro Flex is their line of flap discs. But is this some sort of tool to use with them or is it just a promo item. It's thick for a promo item. BTW it's leaning on an Allan Key to reduce glare...
