axial_al Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Anyone have an idea what this thing is? Took a picture on a playing card for size perspective. Maybe some type of pound in conduit hanger? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12_Guy Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 You answered your own question. Conduit staple/strap. Also seen some used on old BX wire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axial_al Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Ah, thanks 12. The BX cable hanger makes sense. It came out of an old dairy barn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Dave Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Odd hammer in the batch is cast, says 13 on it, feels like pounds, but what is it for in particular? The lot a garage sale batch $20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t have them around here but that’s what it is. All the holes here were dug vs pounded as far as I can tell. No hedge posts straight enough to pound I guess 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Could add that most had pieces missing from hitting something other than posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldenny Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Indeed. We have several of those. From 10 up to 16lb. A few have pockets in the face from someone pounding T posts in. I've only used them on cedar posts. A weekend of fencing with them can wear a fella out too. It was a good buy at $20. I've seen them going for as high as $75 around here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Dave Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 The driver isn’t chipped much. The shovels don’t have much wear on the edges or handles however he did like to grind that ax ….a little wonky , easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I used this homemade pry bar to install the fwa driveshaft in a neighbors tractor. I couldn't get a bigger bar in there to hold up the end and align t splines into the differential. Can anybody identify what it's made from?

It’s hard to say, it like 3/8 round stock, and I would guess you chose something that was tough to start with. I am going to guess a rod from a camper shell door lock??

acem Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Good guess but wrong. It's a broken rake tooth from a wheel rake. I couldn't manage to get anything bigger in there. It worked great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoshoe Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 The stove comment got me thinking. The square end could fit end of shaft of rocker grates in a coal stove and the other end could be a lid lifter. Should be bent a little different for that and lid end should be flatter and have a little hook. So don't think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bunch of old cast iron wrenches with square holes. But still, that other end gives me pause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray54 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Maybe wood stove lids are different than a coal stove. I think it looks like I could lift a stove lid with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Lid lifters are normally smaller from what I’ve seen?? That looks heavy enough to lift the stove…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Dave Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Square is the preferred shape for many shafts on machinery, likely shipped with a piece of equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Picked up this shear today. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a small one. It does 1/8”-3/8”. Most of of the ones I have seen were larger. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you turned it over I reckon it would work with stove lids I've seen (and lived with, including cutting the wood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
