New Game, name a tool!

Hmm, let's see

-band saw
-forestry shears http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/View_Catalog_Page.asp?mi=1779
-bypass shears
-pick (think miner 49nr, but probably meant for dirt, not rock/gold)
-cutter mattock
-point bar http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/(zggkxw45ztzny2453kjtno45)/ProductDetails.aspx?SKU=73927
I call it a point bar....... shaped a bit different than the one pictured at Ace, but it's basically a heavy steel bar used when breaking up concrete..... at least that's what I use it for, bought it at Lowes.
-brass hose nozzle.... twist type
-undercoating spray gun
-tire tread depth gauge
-10' dryer vent brush :D
-manual mitre saw http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/Verstekzaag.jpg
-electrically heated paint scraper
-#4 Phillips screw driver...... most people don't have a #4, as it's big.
-Perfect Handle screw driver........ "Perfect" I think was a brand or trade name, but a few other companies made them too...... far from being just a screw driver. I beleive China Inc. makes copies now.
-8 point sockets (for square nuts and bolts)

:yes: I have a 9" AMF/Dewalt radial arm of that era also, but it needs one winding rewound... :tears:

I've got a little one, too. It lacks a base/frame, Though. It's also 3ph, so I'd need a VFD to run it. It's got a Navy tag on it. I picked it up at an auction from a guy that spent a lot of time going to auctions....... to the point he filled one of Fords old small plants with his winnings. He had tones of stuff..... even an old radial airplane engine.

How often do you use the #4 Phillips? I don't think I've ever used mine. It was something I got in a tool box at an auction....... I just don't run into screws that big.

I thought I'd get you on the 8 point sockets, but I guess you did mention having a machine with Babbitt bearings, so the 8 point sockets would go right along with that.
 
Bench hook
Power scraper (for machine ways)
Powered post hole auger

I think I've used a #4 maybe once or twice. I use #3 fairly regularly.

Gentle reminder:
The tool has to be something you might realistically find in a yard/garage sale or flea market, or in a garage or serious hobbyist’s shop. Anything that would only ever be found in a specialists shop, (like track layer repair tools, crane rigging equipment, or a doctor’s office or hospital tool that would not translate into a garage setting are off the menu (Speculum... Sheesh!).

Bench hook - This has already been done and I had it
Power scraper (for machine ways) - Outside the rules…
Powered post hole auger :no:
Lead-spraying bodywork gun - Outside the rules…
Needle scaler - This has already been done and I didn't have it
Dent puller :yes:

One winner! :thmbsp:
 
Sure! Why not! :yes:

Whatcha got? (Pix?)

Here it is, the picture is approximately actual size. I got it from an artist's estate. He was into linoleum engraving, glass painting, bookbinding, photography, sculpture, and so much more. Ex-WW2 US Army Signal Corp., he was an amazing talent. (See other thread in General) It is made from nickeled brass and both ends are the same size. I've seen something similar to it before but cannot recall where.
