Show Off Your Unusual Tool, If You Have One.

[Kaleidopete]

I have some old tools I've collected from flea markets and friends, here is:
An old adjustable wrench with wooden handle.

Nothing could go wrong with this thread.


Not really weird or unusual. While I have older tools from my grandpa and dad, this is probably the oldest tool I bought with my own $$. Elephant skate Key, axle nut on one side, king pin nut the other, screw driver thing for prying off bushings or maybe just for something to hold. Circa 87 or 88.

I don't know what this one is, do you?

Duh. Roach clip. Tots obs.

I'll have to dig around and see if I have any of my grandfather's old jigs.
He was a tool and die guy, and just saw no reason to not build stuff he needed. I'm sure I held on to something.

My kids say this is ratchet.

Glad I'm not the only one that thought this.

Or gynecological surgery. Or ENT surgery. I don't know, lol. Can't find it on the internets.

I used something like that once when I was desperate.

It's so you can turn it by hand when the nut is somewhat loose, or put the ratchet on when it's too tight.

Hammers with tire iron on the end. Hatchet for multi use

It is an in-line reversible ratchet, 1/2" drive. Turns a breaker bar into ratchet drive.

It is a ratchet.

The first is a 5 NM torque wrench that fits in a seat wedge.
The next is for Campy crank bolts, informally called a peanut butter spreader.
The final tool is a brake rotor bender.

Totally dropped the ball here.
Saw a Geiger counter at an antique store this weekend.
I'll try to atone next weekend.
