well, there are a lot of ring/link closing pliers pliers,there, bars with holes...looks like stuff for fence building/maintenance/repair...maybe the first tool posted is for getting heavy staples out of wood posts? or separating closed rings that you may not want to just clip off?

I put an ad on craigslist and ask what was this tool used for,

got a response saying it was an ice hammer, so I looked it up

and saw a pic of one.

The glass ones also protected the early linoleum, as iron bed frame legs would punch right through it in a few weeks.   I see some tire irons, the top one made out of a broken leaf spring.  The bottom big pliers device looks like a mud chain tool, perhaps the one above it is too.   Good group of Misc.

I should hve guessed this one as I had recently been on the site: http://icetoolcollection.com/12combinationtools.htm but I cannot find this one there (probably looking in the wrong place)...

I am thinking maybe an ice chipper/crusher.  I will have to look around through some reference books.

EDIT:  I really should start looking at page 2 of the replies before I post.

wvtools, you are not alone in that error - I frequently do the same.... I often rush in before I fully read the post, or study the image properly...
