My dad inherited my grandfather's tool box quite a few years ago, but only used the usual tools (sockets, wrenches, etc). He never got into some of the more specialized tools in the bottom of the tool box.
During Hurricane Harvey, the tool box was submerged in 7 foot of water, and now my parents have gotten to the point where he could work on completely cleaning out the tool box and cleaning up the tools. He's at the point of the more unusual tools, and has no clue what some of them are and is coming to me for help.
I'll post more up if/when he finds more, but this is the first, and I'll reply with the second.
The first is this. It has a bolt connected to a tapered shaft that runs the length of the tool. As you tighten the bolt, it expands the "steps" on the other end. The expansion, though, is VERY minimal. I've gotten a few interesting theories off Reddit, from an internal pipe wrench to a universal internal collet (which seems the most plausible).
The hose nozzle is for size reference. Any thoughts?
