Help identifying a few old tools in these old craftsmen boxes

[sherrod624]

I was given these old craftsmen boxes this weekend and was hoping for some help identifying a few things. i don't have much space in my small shop and actually have no need for the boxes. Are they worth trying to sell?

thanks for the help

here is the two boxes and most of the contents that wasn't total junk. what are the chisel type things for? there bound to have some type of holder.


any idea on this thing?


the wedges in this picture look like the ones you use to remove mt shanks. I' also never seen a bit with a mt as small as the one pictured. and that shiny spring loaded pen thing realy has me bumfuzzled. the windshield scraper was pretty neat i thought. looks like it has a brass blade in it to keep from scratching up windows

To the right of the plane; I think is a tube cutter.

The "spring loaded pen" is an automatic center punch.

Also this is just a guess, but the chisels in the first post seem to be just that...vintage chisels that are missing the handles, or perhaps came with a set/interchangeable handle.

The box on the left with the crown logo is maybe 10-20 plus shipping on Ebay. The one on the right is older and looks to be in excellent condition. It would sell for a little more, maybe 20-40 plus shipping range.

that was my first thought, but it has no point on it. just a dull end. i own a starrett auto center punch, and this thing operates no way like it.

googled a little since you suggested auto center punch and it appears to be used for marking hinge holes and stuff but i still can't find a picture of one with a blunt point. Everything that i find that looks like it is sharp

Another guess...could be a pin punch then?

I think its a non-automatic center punch with a worn, broken, or modified end. I use one all the time for marking hinge holes. You insert the tapered body into the hinge hole and you "tap" the extended pin on the end with a small hammer. The spring compresses, and the "point" starts a shallow hole in your workpiece (wood)

Nail setter -- for recessing finish nails.

Those two aluminum looking tapered thingies look to be the removal keys for the tool that those chisel heads are inserted into.

The flat bar with the small notch and slightly wider notch looks like a tool I've used for adjusting firearm magazine lips. One would tune magazine release to time the cartridge release.

Basically they're bending tools for thin metal. Not sure if that's what yours is but it's pretty close to what I have used.

The tapered pieces are cheap drift pins for removing Morse arbor chucks. The piece to the right of the block plane looks like an old style knurling tool ... hard to tell though.
