What are these tools?

[Nick Danger]

I have inherited my fathers tools and don't understand a couple of them. What are they?

The handles of the small pliers touch before the jaws close. There are no markings.

The long aluminum rod has a magnet on one end and a slot screwdriver on the other. The screwdriver end has an adjustment to turn the outside so it doesn't line up with the center part of the screwdriver. It's labeled "Aircraft spec. LaPeer Mich."

The long one is a screw starter. Pull the black tip out and twist it. Put a screw on and push it back in and it will hold the screw, start the screw and pull it out and tighten with regular screw driver.

The one that looks like pliers is a hog ring crimper I believe.

The one is a screw starter and the plier may be a hog ring plier.

I'm with dem guys. Those pliers should have groves on the inside for holding the hog ring steady.

Screw starters come in the flat bladed type,and the Phillips recess ones. Real handy for tight places.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I agree with the group, screw starter and hog ring pliers

Another Vote for screw starter and hog ring pliers.

 

[Nick Danger]

Yes indeed, there are grooves in the pliers. Good call.

Thank you, everyone.

what everyone else said. Screw starters used to a lot popular in the days of ignition points

The hog ring pliers look like a freebie that would have come with a box of hog rings for upholstery work.

yeah: screw starter (probably made by Ullman) - very handy to have.

hog ring pliers - those are low-end - same kind my old man sold in the 50's and 60's with the hog rings so people could do their own upholstery repairs on their cars - came in a little kit with 100 hog rings with the pliers for about $2 bucks.
