Guess that tool! (Again)

[Outlawmws]

Picked these up at a yard sale today. Can anyone guess what they are for?

Yes, that is a bit and brace style square drive on one end, and the chunk on the end appears to be HSS

 

[Moose-LandTran]

It's a pokey!

 

[metaleltr]

Reamer of some sort?

 

[davesnothere]

It's a pokey!

he's right.

 

[Outlawmws]

It's a pokey!

 

[Outlawmws]

Reamer of some sort?

Your getting warm, (but no cigar)

 

[Outlawmws]

he's right.

Still nope...

Wow, this is the longest Ive seen one of these go without a solution I think! (2.5 hrs and counting!)

 

[Steevo]

Fits into a brace and is used for shaping the axle cup on a wooden wheel?

 

[Outlawmws]

Nope, (But what a creative guess!)

 

[trboxman]

Something for measuring and/or setting gap on...????

 

[Your Father]

Landscaping tool for Bonsai trees.

 

[Outlawmws]

Nope, and nope!

 

[trboxman]

Deburring tool.

 

[DanCo]

Looks like what they used on mythbusters to bore a hole in the tree trunk cannon.

Holy ****! I think you're onto it, that does look like a tapered square drive for a brace.

Nope for a cannon boring tool, but that is the drive for a brace.

 

[RodneyPierce]

an auger of some sorts? def. looks like it fits into an old brace.

 

[DanCo]

Ok its a heavy duty melon baller

 

[otis66]

I can not tell how long it is but US sailers use somthing like that to grab pull and pry things on a ship.

 

[Outlawmws]

Not and Auger, but does fit into an old fashioned bit brace.

Nope, Not a melon baller!

 

[trboxman]

some kind of counter sink?

 

[Outlawmws]

I can not tell how long it is but US sailers use somthing like that to grab pull and pry things on a ship.

Nope!

It's about 14 inches long

 

[Outlawmws]

Not a counter sink!

 

[RodneyPierce]

[tatra]

are the blades designed to be flipped for other sizings?..........

 

[Outlawmws]

Explicit hints so far:

It has a bit and brace style square drive on one end,

The chunk on the end appears to be HSS.

It's approx. 14" long,

Hmmm, I'll have to think of one that doesn't just give it away...

 

[tatra]

valve seat reamers?

 

[Outlawmws]

are the blades designed to be flipped for other sizings?..........

and they are marked 2-3/8 and 2-1/2

 

[Outlawmws]

valve seat reamers?

Nope!

 

[Outlawmws]

are the blades designed to be flipped for other sizings?..........

And I think that was why the guy had 2, he was too lazy to be flipping them over... (Each is set to the other size)

 

[popper]

Paint mixer

popper

 

[Outlawmws]

Nope, not a paint mixer. (With a brace? )

These were used by marine mammal resperatory specialists in the late 1800's, when they had to perform a very risky blow-hole clearing procedure on North Sea narwhals in frigid waters where they would ice up.
That's where the old sailors got the expression, "Well, blow me down", which was later popularized by Popeye.
Nowadays, these are all made in China and are metric and powered by lithium-ion batteries.

But no.

 

[Outlawmws]

C'mon guys! still have almost 4-1/2 hrs til midnight! Keep going; you can do it!

(My Kids are having a new years party, so I've got nothing better to do!)

 

[Steevo]

Do the flat ends fit into a screw-like slot in something that is then turned using the tool? Something like a water valve or a worm-gear-driven shaft of some kind?

 

[Yojinbo]

Wood tap?

 

[Outlawmws]

Nope!

 

[larry_g]

Good hint would be to tell us what trade used them. First thought I had was they were for reaming the inside of O-Rings to the proper size.
