Wethepeople762 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Got a few things here I'm unsure of their use. Utility knife is for size reference. Tongs aren't too old I don't believe. I have a bunch of the + shapes chisels (?) and I have four of the old cone shaped iron pieces...hardy? The post is cylindrical so I wasn't sure if it was a hardy or not.

Daswulf Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 First chisel/bit I can't remember the name. I have a bunch . Iirc its for cutting through concrete like a hand hammered drill bit may be an insert for another tool with that end on it Second looks like antique wheel weight pliers. The hammer bit is to pound weights on, pliers bit and pry part on the end of the handle to get them off. For balancing a wheel. Last one. No clue. Could be part of anything used for anything. Possibly something to aid balancing an antique wheel? Just an "out there" guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wethepeople762 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks for the reply...I'm baffled by the last one as well. First two make sense now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 1st one is a star drill. Used to drill rock, brick, concrete etc. Pound and turn, pound and turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I concur with the wheel weight pliers; I have family friends with an old school tire repair shop that still use a similar pair. The last one is perplexing. As to "usable"---if you have a task it works for then yes; if not it goes on the shelf till you run into such a task. Ig you clean it back smooth I could see it being used to round out the end of pipes you have hammered on a bick to flare them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The one with A - C - E on it, I believe to be a utility knife... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmato Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Try this again..... The pliers are for the removal/installation of a dust cap on a rotor or wheel hub (Pre Bearing Buddy). the round nub is the hammer part, the V bits grab the cap between the flange on the cap and rotor, the flat prybar on the handle is for removing the grease seal. I have a set myself though not as nicely made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMetalViking Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The last one looks like some sort of pipe flaring tool, that's a guess. Otherwise I'd go with Daswulf's theory of a wheel balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 The last one looks similar to the kind of post a glass insulator would be mounted to. I have something similar in my piles of stuff but it is longer and threaded on one end and did come from some kind of electrical power pole.
