Old time pull griper thingy. Spring loaded to clamp down.

Pretty handy if you want to tension guy wires on a tower or something similar.

I have seen that video in another thread. I am skeptical that the bolts were all uniformly rusted, even though each lube had more than one nut to remove. His method of rusting the bolts was also not real world. The video was well done I have to admit that.

Yeah... wondered a bit about that myself.... I have had very good success with Kroil.

Found this at a garage sale in Hawaii. Apparently they use these to de-husk Coconuts. I've used it to open coconuts and it works perfectly. The blade breaks the husks, and works as an auger to drain the milk. And then the Knob is used to break the shell. Never seen one in the US.

I wondered when this thread would resurface on Friday’s.

Thanks Jasper!

Ran across these old drill bits today when I was looking for something else. I think these came from my wife’s grandfather. I’ve never used them and I see some were cut down.

Reorganizing the garage. This little piece of wood, with some stuff on it, was something I never thought much of. Then i cleaned it up with some brass wool and was surprised. Stanley Rule and Level CO. PAT. FEB 1890. Queen Victoria was still alive...
