Next box of rescued tools opened.

Anyone know what the two items at the bottom are? The blue handled one and the one to the right with the slots in?

 

[MattF]

Wire gauge & brazing rod holder?

 

[RobDaWrench]

The one with the slots is for setting the angle of bend or set on an old school saw blade, it was used in conjunction with a gauge that told you how much you had bent or like twisted onto the blade. This was used on non tct blades just the old style that you filed by hand. The set is done every other tooth one way and then the others in the opposite direction left and right

 

[RobDaWrench]

Oh should of said…. Looking at the tools they seem mainly woodwork related, perhaps the blue handled tool is a staple remover

Looks more like a sheet gauge a lot of wire g plates had slots on as well.Have one with a metal handle a bit like the wood one
Pruners look like FALCO

 

[Hitch]

Nice pair of trammel points in there

 

[fixerupper]

Yeah some cool stuff ... the spoke shaves , odd legs callipers and the various pointy nose pliers.. I wish I came across stuff like that ...

 

[voipio]

A nice looking beam compass, minus the beam.

Is the blue handled thing for pulling tyre valves through rims? Hard to tell on this tiny monitor.

Well I tried it on a staple on a chair and it works! Staple remover it is then. Cheers.

Saw set makes sense as there was an Eclipse hand grip saw set in there too. Thanks.

Yep that's a staple puller, I've got a new one with the same head (It's rubbish ).

The snips next to it are nice, I use mine quite a lot.

I’ve just tried those snips. Absolutely magic. Makes modern tools look silly.

Bullet2012 that looks right ain't got a clue what the other is​

 

[Seadog]

Definitely a saw-set to the right.
