I double checked, and it is definitely a spindle puller. Thanks so much! Al

I bought this along with a rollaway full of stuff, and the thing doesn't have a brand name, ID mark, or even a patent number to help. I think it's a mechanic's tool of some kind, and am wondering if anyone out in Garagejournalland has seen one. Can you help me? Thanks. Al

FYI, lots of USA made Craftsman tools have collectible value. Don't sell them cheap until you check eBay, and not what people are asking, what the things actually SELL for. Good luck! Al

I bought this with a bunch of tooling from a machine shop, and it has me stumped. I looked for it online and had no luck. Has anyone seen one of these before who can identify it? It was made in Japan and brought into this country by Tool Importers in New Jersey. Thanks in advance. Al

This has me stumped. It has no company ID, I bought it along with a bunch of machinist tooling, much of which was Hardinge. I did a Google Images search, and came up with "cylinder". Not helpful! Has anyone seen one of these? What is it used for? Thanks in advance. Al

That pretty much settles it. Thanks, guys! A;

I think I may have really scored: take a look at this! https://www.ebay.com/itm/273808264156?hash=item3fc03e8bdc:g:CccAAOSwmN1bg~tm

That is very helpful, and thank you for your thoughtful and intelligent reply! Al

Here's something I couldn't resist at a yard sale yesterday. I couldn't find a maker's name, but there are numbers and angles on them--and they're nearly impossible to read. There are counterbores, and lots of other things, some with tapered shanks, some with straight. Utility knife in there...

My experience is that an investment is supposed to increase in value, not lose money. And good luck getting your money back out of it when you eventually sell it. It's an expense, not an investment--no matter what the folks at Snap-on tell you. If it will add value to either your business or...

Thanks, gang--mystery tool is confirmed identified!

That's got it! Thanks so much. Al

Hi, Gang-- I was at a yard sale today and picked up this thing just to find out what it is. It's spring loaded, just under 10" long, and has no company identification on it. Does anyone have any idea what it's used for? Thanks so much.

Yeah, cam locking tools. Thanks so much! Al

Here's one I've never seen before, and I am pretty familiar with tools. Anyone out there seen one of these? I don't know if it works as a pair, or if I have two tools. Thanks in advance. There are little pins on the side, it's made in the USA, but there is no product information. Al

Good guesses, everyone--hopefully someone has a link for someone else who's had one. Al

I thought it might be specialized, but couldn't get beyond that. Al

Anybody seen one of these things before? There is no name on it, I'd guess it is older because of the square bolt. It measures about three by three. I would think it's a puller, but that's just a guess. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

That didn't take long-- "The tool you are inquiring about is a Universal Carburetor Stand that was manufactured from the 1960?s to the early 1970?s. It looks like a base plate is missing from the tool." Thanks so much! Al

Here's one I've never seen and can't figure out. It came from a mechanic, and since it's a K-D, it has to be a mechanic tool of some sort. It's a model 170. Anyone seen anything like it? Thanks in advance. Stay well! Al
