What's it?

I have a tough time saying no to free tools.
Used nut zert installer before but what about the other two?

Not sure about the IBM tool, but the other tool is for CV boot clamps.

Translation....it crimps the metal band for CV boots.

The other one looks like a similar tool but for wire. Wrap the wire around the 'round parts'....maybe

Bending wire? Say coat hanger wire or similar

That's what I thought too. Some kind of application specific ends for specialized boxes or wire ends.

Is there no part number on the IBM tool? that seems very un-IBM like.

Did a little research and it looks like the IBM tool is for bending / forming typewriter/teletype 'typebars' - the metal sticks with a letter on it that smacks the paper. (top right tool in attached image).

Here is a link to a pdf of IBM maintenance tools for future reference:

Thanks, never used one but have seen it done. I should have gotten that one.

Thanks, have to look at that file on my laptop, phone doesn't like it. Thank you!
Figured it was a bender for something.

Nice find. There it is on page 19.

The only IBM tool I own (not sure where it is at the moment though) is also some sort of bending pliers, with three fingers that cross each other. It isn't in that document though.

Mine are the same as the bottom in this set:

Thanks again everyone!
Now what application uses an air motor?

 

[Michael_in_DE]

Thanks again everyone!
Now what application uses an air motor?

Mines, combustible chemical plants, etc where they can't have more volatile contraptions setting the environment on fire.

 

[5ktq]

Things where there is air but not electricity I guess. Maybe explosion-proof environment as well? (eg coal mine, refinery, etc)

edit: oh I was too slow.

Air motors are used in a lot of industrial applications. Their benefits are that they have a low mass to power ratio, are easy to control in on/off applications and they can be stalled indefinitely without damage. Downsides are that you need an air supply, it's not practical to do any kind of feedback speed control on them and they tend to be noisy.

That is what many here would know them for but those type clamps come in many sizes and are widely used as hose clamps, often for PEX tubing. The inventer and big gun in making them is Oetiker so they are often called Otiker clamps. It is one of those brands whose name has become the generic, like Kleenex, Ping Pong and Sawzall.

Not sure about the IBM tool, but the other tool is for CV boot clamps.
