I just checked the drill bits with his tools, none of the drill bits fit they are
I thought of that too! Then why does it has "2 oz" at the end of the red cap?
How would you use a blaster or suction device when woodworking?
Thank you for your reply! Could he of put water in it, then dripped water on what he was cutting to see the detail in the wood?

You have to realize some of these guys think they're comedians.
And sucking brake fluid out of a master cylinder, topping off gear oil etc.

We didn't put them in the battery just held them over the hole. But the ones we used are plastic.
Rubber Pipette Bulbs come in all sorts of sizes. Its just what he decided to use when he made a dust blower.
I just saw familiarity with the metal shaft, but the rubber in the handle didn't make any sense since all that I saw had wood handles. I am just a great-grandaughter trying to do her best to log the tools for the museum donation. I just knew I could not match it to any hand drill or anything else, that is why I was asking for help.
That's the truth! I have used many "tools" for different types of tasks through the years, it just depends on what was the closest tool at the time. I do love the old classic motorcycles, so I do like your nickname, four-cycle. Thank you for your help!
Thank you! This explanation fits! He would be working with large timbers, and I have a lot of very long auger hand brace drill bits. I will reply to the other thoughts below. Thank you!!!! :O)
Thank you for your reply! Well, I guess only my Great Grandfather is the only one who really knows what this tool did or how he used it. He is probably getting a laugh out of all of this, from heaven. I will include both ideas of this tool in my write-up for the museum. Thank you for your input and help!
Thank you! It kinda didn't make sense to me, but I am a newbie with these antique tools, that is why I am looking for help. I just let the unnecessary comments pass on by me, so I can focus on the wonderful people that are helping me with this most important task. Thank you! :O)
Thank you for your reply! Very true, it could be sorta a universal tool. Cool! Thank you!
OH WOW! Great job finding that!! I wonder if this was the 1800 -1900s version of it? I will include this description in my write-up to the museum about my Great Grandfathers tools. Thank you so much!
Thank you again, you are awesome! Unfortunately, the link did not work. ( I did do a google search too, and found some other cool tools but not what we are looking for. However, I would agree with you on the battery fluid it would need to be plastic. However, with all the great ideas, it could be used in a number of different ways. I will include the most popular ideas in my write-up of the tool and let the museum decide what is the best fit. Thank you so much for all your time to help me!
Thank you for the clarification and your help!
Very Cool! Thank you for your picture and help! I totally agree, it was just the universal tool he had on hand to get the job done. I went on a search for the "Rubber Pipette Bulbs", and there are bulbs that look exactly like this one! Just no metal tube, just plastic. However, who knows what this tool originally looked like and how my Great Grandfather originally used it. I think he could have used it in many ways and I will include the most popular answers in my write-up to the museum. Thank you for all your time and effort in helping me solve this mystery! I know my Great Grandfather is smiling down on us and getting a good laugh out of all our guesses! Thank you!!Rubber Pipette Bulbs come in all sorts of sizes. Its just what he decided to use when he made a dust blower.
I use one like this to puff gunpowder off the reloader, blow sawdust of the band saw or scroll saw so I can see the line.
You just like it cuz it matches your avatar.
RL550B or C?They are made for photography. I have no problem repurposing. I like that it stands up and doesn't roll around. But now that you mention it it does look like a rocket.
