    Help identifying OTC tool garage sale find

    I bought this OTC set at a garage sale over the summer and haven't been able to identify it. I have my ideas and I can tell what a couple of the tools do (for instance one of them is a small slide hammer) but don't know the original application. If you have any ideas please post them. -Isaac...

    Mystery Snap-On tool

    I found this at a garage sale and being a Snap-On fan I had to buy it. I haven't been able to identify it and am hoping someone here knows what it's for or has an old catalog that it's in. Sorry for the poor quality pictures, my phone doesn't take very good pictures since the last time I dropped...

    Mystery Creutzburg pliers

    I found these pliers in the barn, they were covered with crud to the point where I couldn't really tell the shape. Here is what they look like after cleaning them up some. They appear to say "Creutzburg" on them. I'm not coming up with anything on Google, does anyone here know what they are...

    Stanley 257 bench grinder - capacitor

    I'm hoping someone can tell me what capacitor to buy for this bench grinder. When I bought the grinder it wouldn't start on its own, you had to give the wheel a spin first. So I removed the capacitor to order a new one. That was quite a while ago and I'm not sure what happened to the cap but I...

    Mystery pin spanner

    I bought this at a yard sale yesterday because it looked cool, it was cheap, and I don't know what it's for. It obviously is a pin spanner, so I know that much. Does anyone know what specific purpose it was made for? Is it automotive, plumbing, machinist, machine specific? There are no markings...

    Old shop press - screw ram

    I'm wondering if anyone in here has seen one of these shop presses before and if anyone knows who made it. I bought it off Craigslist ten or so years ago and it has been in use in our farm shop every since. It replaced a 30 ton import press and has done everything and more that press did. The...

    What is it - old lathe part?

    Can anyone shed some light on this piece? I saved it from the scrapper some years ago, just came across it again going thru my stuff. At first I thought it was the tail stock from an old wood lathe, but that doesn't make sense because there is no way to extend the center or drill chuck. My next...

    Harrington hoist - friction plates

    I picked this little 1/4 ton Harrington hoist up on Craigslist the other day. I've never seen one exactly like it. It's basically the same as a lever hoist but instead of a built in lever, it is 3/8" square drive. It wasn't working right so I tore it down and discovered that one of the friction...

    Matco what is it?

    Going through my toolboxes I found another tool I'm having trouble identifying. I will attach pictures of it. I picked it up years ago at a flea market or tagsale. I've tried googling to no avail. My guess is it has something to do with releasing a connector of some sort. It is built like pliers...

    Snap-On M3523 what is it?

    I have this Snap-On tool that I'm hoping someone here can help me positive ID. It says Snap-On M3523 USA and has the numbers .170 and .200 at either end. Does anyone have an old catalog with this in it? I've been going through my toolboxes weeding out tools. While I am definitely a tool...

    Old Black & Decker bench grinder

    Hello everyone. I've been a lurker on here for some time, never really posted though. There is so much good info on here I can usually find what I need. After considerable searching I have come up dry this time. In addition to hopefully getting my questions answered, I will use this as a project...
