MinnesotaFarmall Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Here's a couple for you fellas/ettes. I'm 99% sure I know the stainless little tool, but what about these wooden pegs? Seems to have brass ends on them all hollow with the same style cogs on the opposite side. @vtfireman85, the blue handled tool is your guess.

augercreek Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 First pic looks like a paste crimping tool/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Dave Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 First one looks like some kind of crimper on one end and a bottle opener on the other. Second, and old ratcheting screw/nut driver Third? Are they wooden? Pins for a old loom? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtfireman85 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 i think they are some sort of thread spool, i cant seem to find anything online, but they sure resemble the spools my grandmother had on her commercial machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, and old ratcheting screw/nut driver Third? Are they wooden? Pins for a old loom? Wooden spools I thought too. Figured for a spinning gin or something because the larger end looks like it would slip over a shaft and cog. The silver wheel tool I believe is for baking, making decorative edges on pastries and such. Third is a universal nut driver. The pictures got jumbled up, but in the one you can see it has a bunch of thin stamped steal inserts. They are spring loaded and slide up into the handle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 I think the wooden things are spools/bobbins for a textile mfg of some sort as was mentioned before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Dave Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Watkins Mill state park Missouri has an old textile mill run off steam and the machinery is nearly all made of wood with little metal noses fitted to the shuttles so they don’t snag the yarns as they rocket back and forth. Its worth the time if you get around Kansas City 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 So tool I.D. has come up again recently. Thought I would dig up Todd's thread. Snowing here today and I have a couple of entries, so..... The one I just purchased off E-Bay, other came from an auction years ago. The auction piece I really have no idea what it is. The E-Bay one I know but will let you guys figure it out awhile. Some of the guys that have been doing this for some time have probably got one in their toolboxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top one I think I've seen on discover channel. What they used to cut blubber when processing whales? Bottom to speed thread on a nut with final torque with the handle?

Knob turns screwdriver blade through center to adjust clearance. Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Not surprised you knew that. Backstory; Been watching 'That Oliver Guy' on youtube quite a bit this winter. He has one similar but a little different. Looks really handy for setting valve-lash. I find myself doing this once or twice a year and thought one would be a great addition to the toolbox. 1 hour ago, sandhiller said: Top one I think I've seen on discover channel.

Yours? I use that style construction sometimes if I need a big one in a pinch or making a special. I have seen modern factory made ones like this for big sizes but low torque like hydraulic cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
