Name That Tool – Page 4 | 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?

Not a bandsaw, but a different type of saw.

I have never seen one like this but must be some kind of punch to set saw blade teeth?

Circular saw blade is my guess but since you are not using your banana its hard to say.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! (I’ll keep my banana to myself, thanks! [emoji16])

Is there a brand on that? I have never seen anything like that and I bet you are right that does not get used often.

Hmmm, see what I can come up with.

Ignore that. Missed your picture

OK here we go. Next up.

No Bananas were harmed in this photo. This is a digital banana.

Todd the TinkererMember since Jan 2017Jan 17, 2017 8:03 PM CT

Looks home made. The banana helps, but not completely

Yeah, this particular saw set is from Craftsman. It’s pretty old, though. Circa 1950’s I think. It works great. I’ve used it several times to fix bent teeth from hitting hard knots and the occasional nail or screw in reclaimed lumber.

Nope nothing to do with spark plugs.

There you have it.

GM “LS” motor flywheel lock.

Used it to lock the motor and torque the balancer on a recent motor swap on my SUV.

comp56Member since Sep 2014Jan 17, 2017 8:51 PM CT

lol used to make my own when I was racing, when installing a 5500 RPM stall converter you want everything torqued perfectly

comp56Member since Sep 2014Jan 17, 2017 8:54 PM CT

here is an easy one for some people….

not very common but used just the same please post actual name

rrmccabeMember since Jan 2017Jan 17, 2017 8:55 PM CT

Pain on this vehicle. Just pulling the starter to install it is a chore. Should have torqued the damper with the motor on the stand.

I am guessing some type of cable stripper but have no idea beyond that.

Cable Union

Had to do a bit of research to come up with this guess… 1/2 & 3/4 Fostapex prep tool.

Three good guesses and JMG in the right trade at least…. And the 3/4″ is the only correct part about it…

OK any more guesses??!

rrmccabeMember since Jan 2017Jan 18, 2017 12:31 PM CT

It would be much easier if the photo did not have “banana cream” over the name of it !

Those look like blades to me so JMGs guess of something to true up the ends of PEX seems logical.

JMGMember since Dec 2015Jan 18, 2017 12:35 PM CT

So, not a yellow fruit… Got it.

SharkBite deburr & gauge tool?

KnarlyCarlMember since Jan 2016Jan 18, 2017 6:25 PM CT

Not for water lines….

rrmccabeMember since Jan 2017Jan 18, 2017 6:33 PM CT

If its not for water, I bet its for cutting/prepping CSST which the county I live in is trying to ban !

JMGMember since Dec 2015Jan 18, 2017 6:46 PM CT

Looks like your are correct… Never have used the material myself.

rrmccabeMember since Jan 2017Jan 18, 2017 6:54 PM CT

When I built my house the inspectors were whining about it. Every new house has CSST and has for several years. Bonding it to ground apparently is very critical. They acted like a lighting strike a mile away could rupture it inside your house.

Hope not as my fireplaces, dryer and stove is all that stuff. Sure is easier than running schedule 40 black everywhere.

JMGMember since Dec 2015Jan 18, 2017 7:09 PM CT

I have a manual pipe threader set and have never found black iron to be difficult to work with. Goes back to the right tools for the job, I suppose.

That is correct.

For what reasons tho?

Good work finding that

This particular csst is double layer with a metal outer to act as the grounding shield along the whole length. It’s the only brand to do so I believe.
