Curious if someone can enlighten me on this tools specific use? Bearing/bushing push? Or small gear pull?

Found this wrench recently. Is early VIM a "thing" in the history of California made hand forged tools?

Curious if this unusual screwdriver is attributable to a better known known maker or where it fits in. Not marked USA as far as o can tell but seems vintage enough and quality enough to presume as much.

Curious if anyone might know off the top of their head the maker and ratchet or other tool this plug might fit. Marked A-3072 and is 1/2" Square Drive w/Lock Pin x 1/2" Hex Drive w/ Ball Detent.

I have zero affiliation to the seller, and any claims made, but if real, I figured there might be some guys here with interest...

Lacking any “Stickie” for Thomas & Betts, I’m launching this post welcoming any insight as to the specific application for this tool. Bought “by accident” at a love bid auction, stuffed into a vintage Craftsman 10pc Combination Wrench Pouch I was aiming for. At a glance I thought it was a pair...

Turned these up today. Curious if perhaps made by New Britain (Litton) since they were neighbors? Always eager for some shared wisdom.

Hoping someone knows this brand. Looks like AST above a tree bough. Guessing 40s based on appearance and the other tools that were unearthed alongside it.

Wondering what this behemoth chisel was used for……26” overall length x 3” blade width.

Not sure but seems to resemble some old Bonney ratchets that I’ve seen. No perceptible markings other than R6A USA and a lighter forging mark “SL”

Looks like DTM inside an octagon within a circle? Quick look at AA and the sticky here provides no immediate clues.

Not finding a lot online for such a lock. It is beefy. What limited information I can find is that this likely was for use on ammunition caches, perhaps? Wondering if any of the sages of GJ might be able to confirm that the "1974" under the large US is a date code or not. I saw a similar one...

Nice Grouping of quality 1/2, 3/8, & 1/4 ratchets, and assorted sockets/extensions etc. 44pcs for now. I'm sure I have some larger/older combination & OE wrenches to toss in as well, and a few addition sockets to what is pictured. $80 including S&H anywhere in the lower 48.

I have been doing very little in terms of tools lately as I have a lot of other moving parts in my life. However, I ran across an ad on Facebook about an automobilia "collector" that turned out to be within 2 miles of my home. I had to go in search of tools, right? I must have passed by this...

Ran into this FB Marketplace ad and saw these old wrenches, mostly familiar, but hadn't seen Beford Vanadium, or Belzer Super Block wrenches before. No affiliation to the seller...

I came across this in a box of junky random tools, so the nature of how it was found did not leave me any clues as to what is it used for. I assume the "blade" is really more of a wire pulled taut like a hacksaw blade. As always, any insights are appreciated!

Curious if anyone can identify the manufacturer of this tool.

Found this on my lunch hour last week for a drop-dead price. Since it wasn't marked and was hauled up out of a large tub of crappy greasy tools, the Estate Sale operator declared "well it isn't Craftsman, so how about.......?" I sheepishly pulled out my fiver and thanked him for the reasonable...

Found this interesting soft-blow hammer, and wondering if anyone could confirm if or not it might be connected to Nicholson File Co. The only markings on the head are as shown. EDIT: I did find a guy selling NOS 6 packs of these less the inserts on "The Bay" and the label on the box does...

Curious if anyone can confirm or refute COO for this old DBE. My inclination is to believe 50s British. My inclination bats about .500
