619. looks like it's used for stretching the webbing for furniture
upholstery. Back end looks like a staple puller.

I can't find any similar tools on the web when searching for "valve
retreiver" or "valve grabber", what other term is this tool known by?

618 - BIG meat mallet?
619 - Webbing stretcher for upholstery work
620 - Edge drilling jig. Clamp it to a board/beam and set the distance
you want the hole from the edge.
621 - We have one like it at the fire station, Not sure what it
originally was used for but we use it to annoy each other....
622 - Expanding plug. used for many things. That one looks like it is
used to pull pipe or conduit.
623 - Looks like a rocker style direction control for a tape deck.

Okay, so what's the advantage for stone workers of a hammerhead made up
of many small pieces of metal instead of one big one? You'd think those
big bolts would just be coming undone all the time. And for that matter,
how's the thing used anyway? Do they bring the ends of the small flat
plates down against the stone or what?

Well ... I've finally got my newsfeed working again. It appears
that they crashed and rebuilt from backups, resulting in resetting the
article numbers significantly. Since my system believed that I had
already seen the articles by those numbers, I got nothing. :-)
Anyway -- I saved what I posted to the web site, and will now
include it here. I've read some of the replies on the web site since,
and agree with them in place of some of my answers below, but this is
what I said then, so I should post it now. :-)
======================================================================
I'm going to have to post this to the web site this time, as it
appears that my news server is experiencing problems. I've been able to
get *nothing* all day. Hopefully, I will be back on line tomorrow.
In the meanwhile, I *would* *have* been reading this and responding
in rec.crafts.metalworking, if the news server were up.
618) Some kind of hammer with replaceable strikers.
Rather heavy, perhaps for breaking up slag, or
chipping off of stone.
619) Another strange tool. The handle end appears to
be set for pulling tacks or small nails. Perhaps this
is a tool to stretch webbing under furniture.
620) This is designed for putting a hole a precise distance
from the edge of something like a door -- probably for
positioning the striker of a lockset. You drill through
the tube, and there is a set of index marks for different
sizes of holes.
621) Spring loaded hooks for catching and pulling something.
Perhaps wire, or an eye hook on the top of something.
You just push the tips down and they snap on whatever
it is, and then pull to lift it.
622) Some kind of pressure relief valve, or perhaps a one-way
valve of some sort. I would guess for water or steam.
623) This looks like a button for reversing a tape being
played -- probably a cassette tape.
======================================================================
Enjoy,
DoN.

The lower cylinder is screwed onto the bottom of the pipe
and the bottom few inches of it are tapered. The bottom check
valve is just dropped into the cylinder and it wedges itself
into the tapered part. The upper check valve is attached to
the rod which is inserted into the pipe and lowered down
into the cylinder. To retrieve the lower check valve you
pull the rod out, remove the upper valve, attach the grabber,
reinsert the rod and grab the bottom valve. This operation
is a lot easier than pulling the entire pipe string which can
weigh upwards of hundreds of pounds. The old timers weren't
stupid.
I have seen 1 case where the grabber was included as part of
the upper check valve. This makes the retrieving operation
even simpler, although one has to be careful not to inadvertently
snag the lower valve when installing the pump.

Hi,
618 looks like something to make round tenons
619 as others suggest is used with upholstery
620 as others suggest looks to be a doweling
jig
? 621 is push down on something ( maybe rope,
cable,
or sheet material) to grab it. The handle
looks a bit homemade. The red color
hints
that it might used where it was hard to
see.
? 622 is either a thermostat or a pressure relief
valve
623 as others suggest is a " Door Open"
button on an elevator
Fun as always

I've been trying to figure it out. The cylinder of a jack pump
would be on the end of a pipe that could be hundreds of feet long.
Wouldn't the check valve be screwed to the bottom of the cylinder?
How would you snatch the check valve below the pump, and how would
you pull it up? It seems to me that the way to retrieve the valve
would be to retrieve the pump by pulling up the pipe.

A bush hammer is used as a rasp might be used on wood. The picture
looks like a good design for maintaining all those chipping edges.

When I first saw it I thought how close it was to the bottom check
valve retriever that I made many years ago for my dad (it wasn't till
I scrolled down and saw the check that I knew that was what it was
for). We don't have hand pump wells but rather lots of windmills. The
checks for windmills are a little different. Primarily the main
difference is the absence of the bail on top of that one. Thus I had
to make mine to grab the cage around the ball. The best model I made
had 4 grabbers to catch all four opening.
Anyway what this is adding up to is the fact that I've never seen
another check catcher like mine till I saw that pic. There's lots of
windmills in this area but nobody I know of has any like that other
than the ones I made (or copies of mine). I'd never seen one like it
before I built my first one either.

My guess is that the individual plates are less expensive both to make
and replace (they probably wear out from all the stone hammering).
622. Lower check valve for a jack type water pump.
621. Retrieving tool for 622.

I thought this was a difficult set, but they've all been correctly
identified:
618. Stone worker's bush hammer
619. This was marked "carpet tool", but I think it is for upholstery as
suggested by others here.
620. Stanley No. 59 doweling jig
621. Check valve grabber, thanks to Leon for submitting this one and the
next
622. Check valve
623. Elevator "door open" icon

Sorry Rob. "Valve grabber" is the only term I knew it by.
I did find a bunch of websites which sell & service jack
pumps but no mention of a grabber or retriever. Perhaps
a phone call to one of them would connect you to someone
who knows.

According to the "Dictionary of American Hand Tools":
"Hammer, Bush: A hammer used for breaking stone and for removing
projections to flatten a stone. Weight is 3 to 10.5 pounds. One variety of
bush hammer is made of several leaves that can be disassembled for
sharpening."
