Firebrand Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 So I recently acquired a pretty large lot of hand tools, mostly for woodworking, but some other things also. I've sorted through them and there are these three that I cannot work out what they are for: The left one has a graduated wheel with numbers on it in the gap near the top. Sort of like a hole punch without the punch bit. The middle one has 'teeth' on the bottom like a reamer of some sort. I assume the last one is a clamp or press, but don't know what for. Any ideas?

Hemi Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Centre one is a tap seat reemer. For reseating leaky taps etc. L/h one is a pipe bender. Brake lines etc. R/h. Dunno bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firebrand Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Awesome, that makes sense, there's some old saws in the collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transom Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Probably be lots of triangle files in the collection too and a wooden clamp frame thing to hold the saw in the vice while resetting/sharpening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
