Title: Two topics - mini hacksaws and use of a small tool I got here at ToolTalk
Post by: amecks on April 26, 2015, 11:33:47 AM

I got one of these out to use the other day and realized I had quite a few to pick from.  I thought you might get a kick out of seeing these:

Top to bottom and L-R.
The first one I ever owned "Handi-Guy" with handle that adjusts on the frame.
Two Wilson 107 Pat.Pend. - very nice tool.  Adjustable handle.
The one that looks like a small coping saw will take two different blade types.  I think the handle is supposed to adjust but its stuck and has a little crack.
The low clearance saw - only has the number 7630 - it looks a whole lot like the larger Proto that has been discussed here before.
Unmarked saw that is just a wire frame.
Aluminum frame saw with pistol grip marked HM in a diamond.  Clever over center blade tensioner.
K-D NO. 2331 - I haven't used this one yet but am anxious to try it.

I bought this Excelite ratcheting bit holder from George (Bonneyman).  I was hoping it would work for the float bowl screws on my motorcycle - very little room underneath on one of the screws.  I have been using an offset screwdriver.  When I went to get a bit for it I noticed the bit had notches around the middle of the hex shank.  I found a small circlip that fit just right over the shank and clipped right into the notches.  This allowed the bit to stay put while working with it - no dropping or fussing about.   One finger underneath to provide pressure on the screw and it adjusted easily.

Cool! Glad it worked out for ya!

I keep finding more and more jobs for my collection of bit ratchets.

The small alum saw is household meat saw.  Used to be quite common

Ooooh! So that's why the jagged edge on the handle!  It's a  meat tenderizer also.

Those Wilson 107's are my favorites from that group. 
I've seen all the rest, but I don't think I have ever seen them.

Nice collection.
