Another "What are these" thread

[NYBODYMAN]

Found these digging through a recent haul of tools I purchased. Can anyone identify these?

The yellow tools are made by IDEAL. The blue tool just has the number 318-851-1 on it. The black section protruding from the side is able to be pushed in it's on a spring.

The blue handle tool appears to be for electrical/electronics work:

The 318837-1 is an Extraction Tool designed to remove the 0.093-inch commercial pin and socket contacts from connector housings. The extraction tool consists of a spring loaded metal tip with an integral plunger mounted to a plastic handle with an interlock lever. When the interlock lever is depressed and the plunger is held until the contact locking lances are depressed by the tip. After the lever is released, the plunger is released and permitting the contact to be pushed out the rear of the housing.

Hope that helps, I still don't know what it is. Lol.

I just call them a Pin pusher, they really a simple tool. If you can imagine a pin is held into it's housing with little wings. The tool just compresses the wings so the pin can be pushed back out of the housing. You can see the little wing on the bottom of the pin in this picture.

Yellow tools are for cleaning commutators. Stones are held in the ends. Looks like a very rough stone is in one end of your holder and none in the others. The stones are the valuable part of the tool.

Edit: looks like you have more than just one stone- they blended in with the background-lol

I can't wait for the day the factory I work at throws out the last big DC motor (in the HP range). I never wanna see anyone doing another brush check or see a com bar resurfacer again. Terrible by gone era.

Awesome!!! Thanks fellas.

We are switching back to DC. Having durability issues with ac and drives. The dc units have been more durable and less drive issues. 13- 40hp motors variable speed
