Here's a new one on me. They measure just under 6" x 3", are non-magnetic and were from the shop of a guy who repaired computers, printers, copiers, and general office stuff. Ever seen anything like this? I found no brand names, a Google search turned up nothing, and I am stumped. Thoughts...

Here's one I picked up a while back, and have been unable to identify. It's marked AST-SUB-005, which should be Assenmacher Specialty Tools, and be pretty straightforward to look up, but I found absolutely nothing. Anyone recognize this? Thanks in advance. Al

This came in with a bunch of mechanics and auto body tools I bought. I vaguely recall having seen them before, but do not know what they are or what they attach to. I'm sure someone out there in Garagejournalland can identify them. Any thoughts as to what they might be? Thanks.

Well, this set is a mystery to me, and I know a fair amount about tools. I bought a garage full of stuff from a truck mechanic, and this one has me stumped. The pieces look like aluminum, but they are steel. No brand name anywhere, and the numbers don't help either. I thought they were bushing...

Hi, Gang-- This was made by Atlast Manufacturing, a company now out of business. The patent number, 4,169,395, identifies it as a screw removing tool--which makes sense. It takes 1/4" hex bits, and you could put a flathead bit into it as well. Here's the problem: I seem to recall having seen...

Help! I got this odd Snap-on socket in with some other stuff, and I can't find any information on it. The model number is S9473, it's a half inch drive, and there is a magnet inside it which looks like it is supposed to be there. Anyone have direct knowledge or educated guesses on this? I...

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

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

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...

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.

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

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.

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

Help! I came across this Snap-on Solus Pro clock (not the scanner), and since I'm not a 12-year old, am unable to figure out how to set the time. And I really like this thing. It looks like the regular scanner, but smaller and lighter. Is there anyone out there who has the instructions, or...

Help! This came in with a couple of boxes I bought out of a machine shop. It looks like it might clamp onto the bed of a lathe--or some such thing, but I really don't know. Is anyone out there familiar with this item? Thanks in advance. Al

Help! In another of my garage sale purchases, I got the thing in the photos. I"m not sure if it's complete or not, it's brand new, looks like a cheapo import--given the low quality of the screwdrivers--but it's unlike anything I've ever seen before. The disc is covered in packing grease, and...

I got these from a load of tools I purchased from a machine shop, and have never seen anything like them before. Anyone out there know what they are? Thanks in advance Al

Help! I've searched the internet for these Cornwell tools, numbers VM-V610 and VM-V612, and I know I've seen them before, but I don't remember what they do. Anyone out there in Garagejournalland have a clue? Thanks in advance. Al

This has me beat! It's 2-1/4" across at the base, the bolt on the top says "Thyssen 8.8", but there are no other markings. Anyone else seen one of these? Thanks in advance. Al
