Hot Rods stump the hamb tools

the hamb always amazes me with what people on here know. I have worked in a garage or body shop for over 35 years kind of a tool junkie .I have some stuff I don't know what it is made to do. this tool ajax #93 next # 3 or 8 or 9 hard to tell

 

Hammer drill

 

ULLMAN has a small magnate on the bottom. maybe some kind of level or plumb bob

 

Stud finder, finds the nails in drywall and maybe plaster depending on how old it is

 

I thought this was some kind of hand vise when I bought it . but now I think it is some kind of stamper. my thought are it would have to be a soft material copper or aluminum. no brand or #

 

herbrand 2431 I think mopar ball joint socket 3/4 drive

 

this odd tool I actually know Herbrand NO. BF-80 drip rail straightening pliers View attachment 4141028 View attachment 4141028

 

Tim, that third tool you have that looks like a hand press kinda thing, is for sealing a lead disc onto a brass or copper wire. We used that exact tool for putting seal wires on water meters to keep the residents honest. Ours had the marking O.L.W.D. for Oak Lawn Water Department. Now you know. Mitch.

 

that was fast. thanks no chop never would have figured that out. .not much of a carpenter guy string hole in the top really threw me off. plus I got it in a box of machinist tools thanks mitch 36 that makes sense and is very interesting.

 

Pretty Cool Tools.

 

Never knew there was such a thing as that driprail straightener but now I want one.

 

great stuff

 

Good luck on that! It looks like it could be copied fairly easily tho.

 

Check out "Alloy Artifacts" on the innerweb ...

 

Yep, hooks to an air chisel type gun and you put a bit of some sort in the other end. Looks home/hand made to do a job at one time. Probably to drill holes for anchors in a shop before rotary hammer drills were common.

 

That's old... Before Rotohammers were perfected, there were demo hammers. No rotation, just hammering but the handle was used manually to turn the bit back and forth. Originally used a 'star' drill (five pointed bit), this is an adaptor to use the later-style bits in the demo hammer. Not fun to use....

 

The seal pliers were also used to seal aviation fuel in the tanker after inspection, with a lead seal on copper wire, which had an inspector's code number on the die.
Keep em' coming!

 

got this out of my grandfathers tools no idea what its for no name has splines in the socket

 

unknown use also. armstrong brand

 

The last one is a lathe dog used with a faceplate and dead center on a metal lathe

 

amazingly fast thanks.

 

I KNOW I've seen one of those T-handle wrenches before. In fact I had a smaller version at one time, and somehow found out what it was used for.
You think I can remember?? Nah.

I'll look in my toolbox tomorrow and see if I kept it.

 

The T handle looks like the vandal-proof water tap handle.

 

these are traditional and a little uncommon pliers for spring type hose clamps

 

That is a crimper used to seal temporary seals to prevent theft mostly on tractor trailers
