The drift punch looks like a marlin spike, used for splicing wire rope -- worth more than a punch.  Look around the head, there may be a Klein or other logo.

[gibsontool]

Some marlin spikes have a slightly flattened tip. If the top end shows marks from a hammer this could be a bull pin, used by ironworkers when connecting structural steel ( driven into bolts holes to line them up ).

Great buy for a 10 spot!

Thank you guys, will check out the drift "Marlin spike" closely.. I was surprised on the price asking for the "Billings Vitalloy DOE 1 1/16" x 15/16" wrench on Ebay.. $118?? What's going on with that??

he was asking $139.99 and dropped it to $118.99

keep watching that one, it will drop again.

remember, what you want and what you get may not be the same.
did you check out the prices on their other items ?

[oldtools]

Thank you guys, I learned something new, so I checked out my other tapered drift punches;

1st 2 are "Bull pins", Broad head is a Klein 3255.. typically used to align holes for iron workers, they have flats on head to turn with a wrench to help remove from hole.

next 3 are Prybars, also "Lady foot prybar, or rolling head prybars. 16", 15" & 12" is a Snap-on 1650..

Then the "Marline Spike" (miss pronounced "Marlin spike, but it stuck) used for removing the Marl Line that bind ends of rope keep it from fraying. & splicing, cables, etc.  14" & 12", Typically long taper, flattened tip, with lanyard hole.  (Note the Marlin fish got its name from the spike that resembles it's bill..) they also have the Rigging knife with spike (marlin)..

last 2 are tapered Drift Pin/Punch, 8" & 7".  (also have several small drift pins somewhere)
some straight Pin Punch are also called Drift? drive out rivets?.. many Drift "Punch" should not be used as a "Punch" on the tip.

Can't understand why price is so high on EBay? is this that rare?
Checked the Kline 3255 Bull pin, new $17.99, but on EBay $27?

Heya.  Just a note on the "bull pin" or "bull spike."  In New Mexico, my Hispanic neighbors (mostly all loggers and/or heavy equipment operators) called those "bull pizzles."  First time I heard that, I was thankful I didn't have a mouthfull of coffee.  Cheers, bear

LOL!!! Thank you, that gave me a good laugh!!!

Jack looks like a 1970's era import.... Toyota ?    Not old enough yet to have much value, also helps to have the handle.

You are right..  It is a old Toyota jack, got 3 others like it, with several handles, they come in handy when I need to jack up heavy  machinery for; rigging, support, alignment, leveling, suspension Removal/installation, etc..  also used them to push out dented auto panels.. the low profile fits in tight spots..  They threw it in for free, I figured someone could use it..  gave several extras away to people that needed them.. 
Also Have several double & triple action Scissors jacks, compact footprint, low profile, can use at any angle, finger control of pressure..

Nice find.  You gotta love it when you hit a "Honey Hole" like that.  Congrats.
