Name That Tool – Page 3 | Tools In Action

Conductor562 · 2017-01-10T06:34:09+00:00

Let's play a game. I'll post a tool that not everyone is going to be able to identify. Nothing impossible, but somewhat obscure. Whoever gets it right has to post the next one, and so on. You set the perimeters for your turn. Lots of people will be able to tell me what this little set is for. It was sold under several brands, but there were a couple specific names for the set. Anybody wanna take a stab at it?

haha we used to bug the new young welders, walk up to them and in a real surprised voice say holey shit is that a duckweigh? while pointing at their newly finished weld….and being a boss they would look with a scare and say what is a duckweigh …..and we would walk away saying about 4lbs…..

or another was walk up to a guy and say is that a tukaway weld? they would look and say what the hell i a tucaway weld?

and we would say a tucaway weld needs to be hidden cause it looks like shit!

I like sending green guys for spots for the spot welder. Or tell em to take straps up to the roof and attach em to the sky hook. They usually return feeling a lil silly once they figure it out.

Yes, they are used together, but do not come in contact with other. In fact, if they did, it would be impossible to properly use the tool.

TheultimatehicMember since Dec 2016Jan 16, 2017 6:57 PM CT

I can only think it’s a punch or press lol.

rrmccabeMember since Jan 2017Jan 16, 2017 7:21 PM CT

Never seen such a thing. Looks like it is used to split or separate something.

Todd the TinkererMember since Jan 2017Jan 16, 2017 7:24 PM CT

I thought it was used to put gauges in people’s ears. Lay the ear in the slot then hit the punch with a hammer, but you said it is for woodworking.

Oh I see it now. A sheet goes in between it the two pieces which are held together by magnets. Is it used to mark the outline of a piece on the bottom of a material onto the top?

Here’s hint #2…

You tap the top of the piece with the spring with a hammer, and do this many many times, all the way around!

Then you flip the workpiece, and do it again!

Ok, no banana for scale, but I did have this…

To summarize the hints…

1. Used in woodworking, rarely, but when needed, there is no other way to accomplish the task.
2. Hit the top of the piece with the spring repeatedly, flip the workpiece, and do it again all the way around.
3. Used with power tools only.

Bonus hint: the two pieces are used together, but do not touch each other. If they did, there is no way to do the task.

The workpiece attaches to the smaller part.

I would have got it if you had a banana. Apple just doesn’t cut it. 🙂

Anything to do with a bandsaw?
