POST20_TOOL77. This iron tool is 2 feet long. One end has an open socket, s=
haped like an arrow with the point cut off. The socket is over =C2=BD inch =
wide at its narrowest. The other end is bent to form a 6-inch-wide handle a=
t a right angle to the shaft. It ends in a point on one side. It was origin=
ally painted red.

POST20_TOOL78. This metal tool is in the pliers family. It tightens with a =
ratchet action until the two jaws meet. In the closed position they form th=
ree openings: =C2=BC and 5/8 inch hexagonal ones and a circular one 3/16 in=
ches wide on one side and 1/16 inches wide on the other. The far end of one=
of the jaws has a 1/16-inch rise/tooth that fits snugly into an indentatio=
n on the other jaw. Additional pressure releases the ratchet action and ret=
urns the jaws to their open position. One handle is missing its blue rubber=
grip. I have hidden the manufacturer=E2=80=99s name and model number.=20

POST20_TOOL79. This metal tool is in the hacksaw family. The blade can be t=
ightened or loosened/replaced by turning the handle. The end of the blade n=
ear the handle is held in place by a pin through it that fits into an angle=
d pair of grooves. It can only make a cut less than =C2=BD inch deep. Why i=
s it so narrow, and for whose use is it designed?

POST20_TOOL80. This wooden and metal tool is almost 6 inches long. The wood=
en handle is joined to a metal piece containing a freely-spinning spool of =
thick thread. The thread feeds thorough a hole and runs down the side of a =
removable needle and is threaded through its eye. The tip of the needle is =
bent at approximately 30=C2=B0 to the shaft. I have hidden the manufacturer=
=E2=80=99s name and motto.

A hydrant wrench, that mates to the pentagon-head drive spuds seen
on a fire hydrant, OR mates to a rectangular-shape (some kind
of cutoff valve, possibly for sprinkler systems).
