I need some help identifying the tool in picture number 186.

"This is a professional quality adjustable reaming tool"

Is that for "professional pipe smokers", or do really keen amateur
pipe smokers send their bowls out to have them professionally reamed ?


I should write to The Chap magazine and enquire.

181 Looks like an "oillite" or "Oil Lite" oil impregnated brass/bronze
bushing pad.

Probably bolted to something and had some spinning part rest on it.

179 is a strap on cleat for walking on ice
182 is a wick feeder from an oil lamp
188 a pig tooth nipper? (I've always wanted to see what one of those
was ever since hearing about one in an old magazine article...lol)

The only thing written on the handles is R3907, otherwise your answer is
correct.

It puts a good crimp in a wire but there isn't a sharp edge and it didn't
cut the wire when I tried it.

Hey Greg,

No, not a trick. The two photos captioned 186 came up on my screen
OK. 3rd and 4th ones from the top. Still don't know what it is
though. In fact, I don't "know" what many of them are, except 178
which is a soldering tip for a torch and 183 is a lock-nut for an
electrical fitting, and maybe 180 is checker-plate. Is 182 a part of
a toy noise-maker? Is 181 a "clicker" ( cleat ??) for tap-dancing
shoes?

Take care.

Bothwell, Ontario.

I don't know what 186 is, but 185 is a cutter and stripper for
wire-wrap wire. I think that you'll even find "O.K. Machine and Tool
Co." printed on the other side of the orange plastic on the handles.

184 looks like some sort of tool for expanding the ID of tube of
some sort.

Interesting geared linkage in the pliers in #188. They appear
to have a wire-cutting section, but other than that, I don't know.

Enjoy,
DoN.

Thanks for that, I didn't realize they were called taps, I was thinking that
taps were just for dancing but now I see that the term is also for shoe

These three aren't, 181 is for shoes but not for dancing.

This may be nitpicking but wear plates such as this were commonly known as
"taps". Even shoe repair people used the term.

idea why there is foam rubber padding around the piece that connects the
strippers to the cutter?
