So I got these tools from work (they were going to throw them out due to the lack of guards, they didn't want anyone to get hurt using them) and I can't really find anything on the internet about them, there are two IR straight air grinders, and one what I think is called a "rad gun"? I personally have no use for them so I would like to sell them, I need to test them out first, but I have no clue what they are worth, I know the rad gun could be worth a decent amount. The gun is a system norbar. I'll attempt to post pictures
Need some info on these tools!

The rad gun is a torque wrench for up to 738 ft lbs which is a lot so it will have limited use. It's also very old looking and likely requires recalibration (usually done annually). I'm not sure how it's constructed. The front piece may be the torque wrench and it uses an air gun for supplementary power or...
The grinders should still be useful if the bearings or air vanes aren't wore out. You should put air to them and test them.
It all looks like old well used equipment so it should be tested by a knowledgeble user to determine value.

i was wondering if it would have to be calibrated. all of these tools have lived in a sawmill i believe, hence all the dust on em lol (the pictures are after i gave them a good clean) will definitely have to test them out somehow.

Those others look like hand held tampers (if they dont spin). I’m guessing..

the red one is made by Norbar in the UK. we use them at work our are not torqued at we use them once we give a minimum torque we set to an angle to set the blade bearings on the propellers. the black bar is a reaction bar to assist with the torque. i know the big rigs use them for tire removal as wall as other high torque industries. they work better with a 3/4 or 1/2 inch air hose due to the volume of air required at times
