What tools are these

[mbalbritton]

So I recently inherited a metric shit ton of tools from an Uncle in law that was a mechanic/engine builder/machinist of some sort that was into everything DIY around the house and garage. Upright tool boxes and hand carry tool boxes busting at the hinges with hand tools, crates, boxes full of fluids, tools, sprinkler system parts, electrical, plumbing… shop fan, shop vac, yard tools… the list goes on and you get the picture.

Things crammed into my garage amongst my crap:

I’m coming across tools that I’ve never seen before. Some I can determine what they are, some I have no idea of. More wrenches and sockets than you can shake a stick at too.

So I thought I’d start a thread for you to help enlighten me as to what they are. It’s taking a some time to go through and match up sets and sort through everything, but here’s a few I could use help with.

If there’s something you’re looking for, let me know before I sell it in a yard sale.

Even have some Mactools, Mac and SnapOn stuff.

I think the first one is used to adjust the steering on the old bell crank arms on jeeps

The third looks like some sort of boring head to me. Kindof crude. The last looks like a morse taper adapter for something. I can't tell if it's tapered or straight from the pic.

A Lot of Vintage stuff there! I noticed an electrical tool on top of the Craftsman box. How long has it been since there was a Metal housing? Can't see if it's a grinder, or maybe a drill. Table Saw has some age on it, but a few of the Tool boxes, are even older!

Pic #3 is called a "fan". It's what people used to keep cool before air conditioning.

That’s a jig saw. It’s complete and it works.

Thanks, I thought it was an early leaf blower. Rather awkward to carry.
