Mystery Tools That Need A Name

[JASTECH]

I thought this should be puzzling and a challenge to stump GJ members.
Please join in with your tools w/o a name.

Thanks, JASTECH & Son

 

[JASTECH]

Here is my first donation.

 

[Outlawmws]

Those aren't tools, those are concrete anchors. Red Head IIR...

 

[WWIIjeep]

Outlaw beat me to it. They're Phillips Red Head self-drilling snap-off concrete anchors. Also called "tooth anchors."

The tapered end fits in a special chuck in a hammer drill. There was also a straight-body style for hand-hammering instead of power hammering.

They're obsolete, and even when they were available, they were a PITA to install in anything resembling hard concrete.

OK, I'll play too. Some of you might have seen these in the yard sale thread. I still don't know what they are. NO marks of any kind.

 

[davesnothere]

Those look like fuse pullers.

Fuse pullers made of steel??? At IDEAL we make them out of 10,000V plastic! HAHA!

Replaceable jawed (missing) hoof trimmers?

 

[zuk123]

They are pretty small to be hoof trimmers, and not sharp at all. The wide end has the same shape as a vise (only tiny.) The dovetail in the handle intrigues me. And the shape of the space at the end of the handles is slightly rounded, like the profile of a round head bolt.

Probably all irrelevant, but...

I've never seen anything like them. They are well made.

[JASTECH]

Outlaw & WWIIjeep, Thanks, I never come across them before. I will put them in File 13.

 

[JASTECH]

Here are few more that need I.D.

 

[signcrafter]

That last picture looks like a hand jointer for squaring up a 90* corner on a piece of wood.

 

[JASTECH]

signcrafter, So is a drill with adapter needed?

Maybe it should go in the sell bin.

An electric hand drill is definitely needed.

Need better pics of the punch looking thing in pic 1.

 

[JASTECH]

Outlaw, ok will do tomarrow. I think I can read "Ideal" on the side.

 

[neonnblack]

So this is the stuff WAAAY back under your bed? haha j/k

 

[Provincial]

The second photo is a guide from a sickle bar mower that is attached to the 2-pulley block with baling wire. How do you say "farmerized"? The guides are attached to the bar of the mower like teeth and the sharktooth-shaped blades rivet onto a reciprocating bar that moves them back-and-forth through the groove behind the point of the guides.

 

[FunkyfullWidth]

How about this one?

 

[JASTECH]

Neon, You'd laugh more if I took pics of the bathroom, lol..for real too.

 

[JASTECH]

Outlaw, here you are. Zoom, sence you work at Ideal maybe you can help?

They look like the type of tool used for crimping the ears on CV boot bands.

anchors for cement, a coke can / bottle opener and... a pair of Rigid, yellow tin snips... wha'd i win? lol

Any chance of a link?

I'm not a mechanic, and have no way to judge if that could be it...

[coldfusion21]

How about this one?

Those look like 5c collets in the box. Machine tool accessory?

KD Tools #3955 is similar.

 

[Phixer]

this thing stumps me... shown with lever at extremes of swing. no markings anywhere.

(blue tape is irrelevant)

 

[zuk123]

Hey Phixer, is the piston/press rod part moving? Does it open enough to put something in it and compress it?

There are tools that look like this only slightly smaller for the AV industry to put ends on cables.

Do you have a bigger pic?

Oetiker pliers

Maybe concretors nippers ?

 

[zuk123]

Here's another one, I got it in a bunch of tools at a pawnshop.

It's marked RIMAC and has a 3/8 hex on one end, and a smaller one on the other, so wrench of some kind, but for what? And google has nothing on Rimac...

[Captain-Matt]

Jastech, your Ideal thingy looks like the sort of thing for chasing grooves in sheet metal for decorative repousse work. I can't remember the name of it though, sorry.

Old style brake bleeding tool.

 

[zuk123]

Thanks Outlaw, that makes sense to me.

They are not that big, or sturdy. And the jaws are flat like the jaws of a vise. i don't think they would grip anything except when they are almost closed.

[Steroblan]

Maybe a tool for setting link pins from early chain driven vehicles. The portable tool could be driven into a nearby tree or nailed to a fence post for use. Just a guess though.

 

[FunkyfullWidth]

Those look like 5c collets in the box. Machine tool accessory?

Not an accessory for another machine, It is a standalone unit. This was sitting under my desk for literally years before I realized what it was. I'll give it away if no one can figure it out.

to me it looks like something from a metal working lathe or mill...

 

[zacker01]

How about this one?

any other pics of this, like out of the box, different sides and details? maybe its some type of pipe cutter or threader? do the colletts go with it? maybe they were just put in the box with this thing... interesting.

 

[Outlawmws]

How about this one?

Hard to tell with only that pic, but it appears the collets go into the "top" (picture reference) and I'm guessing are for gripping several sizes of precision ground stock. does the collet holder inside run on bearings/bushings and "free wheel"? can you run through the center for the ID of the collet (meaning are the collets restrained with an open/hollow "drawbolt") Is there a place for some sort of cutter on the arm opposite of the crank handle?

I'm thinking a setup for cutting a groove, possibly for Snap rings or O-rings, in something that required either on-site installation, or precise custom fit at the ends of random lengths of whatever was being cut/installed.

Also, any markings on the box or tool?

Okay, here is a larger view... approx 1" of travel, the "probe" end has the most wear in the 3/8" notch area. There are slight wear marks where the barrel slides along the rod (above blue tape). So possibly it engages the work piece in two places? I'm stumped!
