Name That Tool – Page 5 | 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?

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.

Plus now that we’re using press fittings, it’s even easier

@rrmccabe Do you have another one to share with us?

rrmccabeMember since Jan 2017Jan 19, 2017 7:03 PM CT

If anyone has anything go ahead. If not, I will try and find something.

Yeah no brainer…. Do you know of one that can do both outside and inside deburr on something like this?

Doing all the same sizes as the one above I should add…

JMGMember since Dec 2015Jan 19, 2017 10:14 PM CT

@KnarlyCarl Not at the same time, unless you want to get a tool for each size tube.

TheultimatehicMember since Dec 2016Jan 19, 2017 10:37 PM CT

Might be easy for the hvac installers

JMGMember since Dec 2015Jan 20, 2017 2:43 PM CT

@Theultimatehic Cleat installation tool… That’s more of a commercial application though, isn’t it?

JMGMember since Dec 2015Jan 20, 2017 2:48 PM CT

Automotive tool…

This one shouldn’t be too difficult.

Yes it’s used to attach cleats to ductmate. Only used in commercial hvac.

Nope… More of a general maintenance tool. :ph34r:

Has nothing to do with vacuum or air pressure. :ph34r:

NicolasRamosMember since Sep 2016Jan 21, 2017 12:16 AM CT

I got one. Not too hard, and no it’s not the knipex.

Definitely some kind of dial indicator… Maybe a valve spring height gauge?

Nothing to do with valves or springs. Not generally used on newer models. More of a vintage model tool. :ph34r:

Belt stretch gauge?

Or in other words, belt tension gauge. The Porsche model 944 has some insane general maintenance requirements. The timing belt requires tensioning about every three thousand miles after the initial routine, and if I recall correctly, it needs to be replaced every 15k miles. It is also used on some of the older serpentine drive belts in other models. Bonus points for anyone who can tell how it is calibrated…

Yes, you insert a banana and see how much it deflects.

Only thing I can think of is that it’s a spanner for carflex.

Light fixture shade wrench.

Used vertically, or perpendicular, to tighten the ring that holds the shade to the fixture.

Didn’t realize we were in the middle of one still. Sorry. Act like my pic isn’t there unless you don’t like pretending.
