The tips of each corner flip up in opposite directions

just broke it and I want to know where to buy another one of these

Claude says it was used to pull tension on a barbed wire fence, but I'm not so sure.

I’ve never seen a drawknife like this and all my searching doesn’t show anything similar. What was this design specifically used for?

Came from a neighbor that just moved away. Previously lived in Roanoke, Vermont and Florida. He thinks he got it with a lot of tools from an estate sale. Neighbor was into sugaring, (helpful or a red herring?). Bolt is screwed into where nut is which means the head didn’t cross the line where the two angle iron pieces meet. Bolt is not stamped so not graded. Metal disc tilts back and forth, no signs of anything being threaded through the holes.

Thoughts?

Funny pliers. Very small with odd grabby tips. For beading maybe?

A stubby Stubai from Austria with a thread. I've looked in their catalogue with no result and image searches just say it is a screwdriver. Came in a toolbox with other tools that may have been used for small engine repair..Briggs and Stratton ? 1950-80s ?

What would have been screwed onto it ? All that I can think of is a bar to assist with undoing a stuck screw.

This specialized pliers of some sort glides so smoothly despite its age and lack of lubricant. The plate in the jaws is thin and worn.

Estate sale find out of a misc tool tub for a quarter. I figured I could find a use for it but would be nice to know how its intended use. The garage shop had an ancient (1950s-ish) woodworking and metalworking machinery.

Very heavy - about 1 lb. Largest knurled ring spins but does not appear to affect anything. Many strike marks on one end as if hit many times with a large hammer. It is engraved L <-> R in front of the largest knurled ring. No other part spins.

It looks like the knurled grips were made on a lathe and bent afterwards. The cone-like pieces may have been welded on or that whole end may have been blacksmith-made. It has no maker’s mark anywhere on it.

Might be an ignorant question lol. But what is this thing for? I bought my gli and found couple of this sticking on the air vents. T.y

It’s some type spring load opposing jaws. Can’t find the name need something like this for a project.

So I use these cylindrical punches at work my boss refuses to tell me where he got them and they’re impossible to find online. I was hoping for some information on how to acquire a set of these. this photo is just one size but they come in a set with multiple sizes. Thank you for any information

This was included in a lot with two older Quick-Grip clamps (the ones with the good, soft rubber faces), that I got for a good price for just the clamps. Most of the rest of the lot was just trash, but I have no idea what this thing is!

There is a toggle switch/plate in the handle that clamps the extending bar, and the toggle has an indent you can see in the third picture. There is also a counterclockwise arrow on the back.

I’m thinking some kind of wrench, but it would have to be for something very low torque, as nothing in it holds very well. And it would only work for removing pretty large nuts. It doesn’t make much sense.

The screw in the middle fits into a groove on an inner circle inside the slot in pic 3 when screwed in and depressed.
