Another sale at the Memphis, NY barn

[amecks]

The clean-out guys held another sale the barn they rent.  It's very near home so I stopped after work today.  Got some interesting items and a neat tool box.

Item on left appears to be a motorcycle size tire iron with a screwdriver tip on the opposite end.  Has anyone seen one like this?  No markings

On top is another one of these little hacksaws I can't pass up.  This one is different, being shaped like a big hacksaw, it has an aluminum frame.  I could not tell if it was plastic or aluminum so I had to grab a file off the table and scratch it.  Yep, its aluminum.  No markings, good blade.

The pliers type tool is unknown function - it has a cutting edge like a side cutter but it drops down in between the other looped jaw.  Pioneer Tool Co. Racine, Wis.

Two chrome plated Honda wrenches 7/8 mm and 10/12mm with a mark on the reverse side - circles with RK inside.  Are these from an auto tool kit or perhaps a top line motorcycle?  The usual moto wrenches are dull gray plating.


Cool tool box by Lumidor Los Angeles.  No tools just loads of small hardware pieces.

Will try to fix that label and straighten the dented hip roof.  Hey it only cost $5.

I'm not sure those are pliers.

Look like sheet metal shears or crimps.

I think Chilly's got it.  Sheet metal crimper.

That tire iron (if that's what it is) is new to me,never seen one like it. I've owned several motorcycles but all had more than one previous owners and none came with any tools. If the looped lower jaws on the plier type tool are close together they may be be for cutting the old poly B type of water line that was common back in the late 60's and 70's, there was other types of plastic based hose or water lines around in those day but poly B was the most common up here on the west coast of Canada. Chilly may have a point, they do resemble crimping pliers that I've seen. I really like the tool box, not familiar with the make but it looks to be well made. All in all it looks like you had a great day.

The pliers look like stove pipe crimping pliers. The hacksaw looks like a Buck Brothers brand that is sold in the big box stores. Home Depot I believe.

Yes indeed on the crimpers.  That was the style I bought and used during my brief life as a tinbender.  I still have them; they're still useful.  It's possible to buy fancier/more expensive versions, but, for residential ductwork and similar relatively-light-gauge metal, those are fine.

Evil, good call on the saw.  Buck Bros.  I like that it is all aluminum, frame, blade holders, tightening screw.  Only the handle grips are plastic.  If you use Bing search engine and type in hacksaw, it's funny but that is the image they chose to represent what a hacksaw is.

i bought my little hacksaw for doing exhaust work on my old cars. The small saw fits in tight places. It works quite well for it's size.

The tire iron is from a Triumph motorcycle tool kit.  You might think I would know that since I own a '69 Triumph Bonneville.  But I bought it used, with no tools, and have never seen a tool kit in person.  Only drawings in the parts manual.  The turned down end fits a spark plug socket.  The screwdriver tip was an owners modification. '
Now I gotta get back to the barn and search for the spark plug socket!
